Hello folks, unfortunately we are now sold out of scones, the Red River Cafe is now closed for the day. Our mill store is open until 4 today as usual. We apologize for any inconvenience. On behalf of a truly hard working, talented (and exhausted) staff, thank you all for your support, it is greatly appreciated as always!

Day 3 of Scone Fest is here — and our bakers have been hard at it since yesterday evening getting everything ready to close out Scone Fest in style. Expect a fresh, delicious selection waiting for you this morning.

A quick heads up: we're limiting purchases to 1 dozen scones (2 box deals) per customer today so everyone gets a chance to enjoy.
Not able to make it in today - or want to skip the line? No worries — the deal is still available. Pick up 6 scones for $16 at the Red River Cafe starting Thursday, June 4th and we'll throw in a FREE box of Red Fife Scone Mix to take home. Just show this post on your phone or bring a printed copy. Valid through August 31, 2026. One per customer. In-store only. No cash value.

Thank you — genuinely — for the incredible support this weekend. It means everything to our team here at Arva Flour Mills and the Red River Cafe.

Something we've believed for a long time at Arva Flour Mills: the best bread doesn't just come from good flour. It comes from shared knowledge — a neighbour's tip about hydration, a grandmother's crumb photo, a question asked at just the right moment in your baking journey.

That's why we built the Arva Sourdough Community — a free online home for everyone who loves sourdough, whether you're nursing your first starter or chasing an open crumb you've been after for years.

Find us at community.arvaflourmills.com, where you'll discover:

🌾 Beginner guides to get your starter thriving
📖 9 Arva sourdough recipes, already pinned and ready to bake
🗂 Spaces for flour questions, troubleshooting, discard recipes, bake journals, and more
🎓 A dedicated corner for our Workshop Alumni to stay connected

And if you're looking for a reason to join right now — our May Group Bake is already underway. Bake along with the community, share your loaf, and see what happens when a lot of people make bread together.

Rooted at Canada's oldest commercial flour mill, this community gathers bakers who honour real ingredients, patient fermentation, and the slow, living craft of sourdough. We'd love for you to be part of it.

🌾 Red River Cereal RULES! 🌾

A longtime fan just sent us an incredible vintage Red River promotional item — and honestly, it proves what we already knew… this cereal has RULED Canadian breakfast tables for generations.

So let’s make it official.
Here are the Red River Cereal Rules (feel free to add your own):

1️⃣ If your grandparents ate it, you probably did too.
2️⃣ If it’s Red River, it’s never “just cereal” — it’s heritage in a bowl.
3️⃣ You don’t measure Red River… you eyeball it like a prairie legend.
4️⃣ Every family has “their way” of cooking it — and they’ll defend it forever.
5️⃣ Finding old Red River memorabilia automatically makes you today’s MVP.

Now it’s your turn:

👉 What’s YOUR Red River Rule
👉 Do you remember this promo item
👉 Who first introduced you to Red River in your family

Drop your stories, photos, and memories below.
Let’s celebrate the cereal that’s been fueling Canadians for over a century — and still going strong!
