Carrot cake scones with a cardamom glaze. Yes, you read that right 🧡

Our buckwheat flour adds a nutty, earthy depth to these scones that regular flour simply can't touch. Pair that with toasted pecans, grated carrots, and a cardamom glaze and you've got the perfect little bite with your morning coffee ☕

Buckwheat brings so much more than just flavor here. The texture gets interesting. Layers of crunch from the pecans, softness from the carrots, and that subtle nuttiness woven through every bite. This is what happens when people get creative with our flour.

Shoutout to Nareen in Charlottesville, Virginia for this one. We're still thinking about it 🤍

Not oatmeal. Not cream of wheat. Consider this your introduction 🥣

Cream of Buckwheat is the bowl your morning has been missing. Stone-ground buckwheat, naturally gluten-free, endlessly buildable. Sweet, savory, somewhere in between. There’s no wrong answer.

How would you build yours? 👇

Buckwheat sourdough is having a moment and we're here for it 🍞

This is what happens when a talented local baker stops by the mill to pick up a few goodies and gets straight to work. Sweet, earthy, nutty, and unlike anything you've ever tasted in a loaf of bread.

Buckwheat flour doesn't behave like other flours. It's naturally gluten free, so bread made with a higher ratio will be denser, but the flavor? Absolutely worth it. Think pancakes, soba noodles, scones, brownies. Once you bake with buckwheat, regular flour starts to feel a little one dimensional 🌾

Our stone ground buckwheat flour is USDA Organic, gluten free, and milled right here in Penn Yan, New York, the same way we've been doing it since 1797.

Shoutout to our Penn Yan neighbor, Ashley, for stopping by last week and turning our flour into something this beautiful. We love seeing what our community creates 🤍

You've been sleeping on buckwheat. Literally 🌾

This grain has been in more places than your passport. Soba bowls, spirits, pillows, the soil that grows everything else on your plate. It never needed a moment. It's been having one for centuries.

Some seeds get forgotten. This one built a mill, a legacy, and a pantry most people never saw coming.

Buckwheat isn’t wheat. It isn’t a grain. It’s a flowering fruit that’s been quietly feeding the world for 8,000 years, and we’ve been stone-grinding it in Penn Yan since 1797. One seed 🌾 Five products. A complete protein. All nine essential amino acids. No gluten. No pretense.

Stone-ground flour for the baker. Whole groats for the grain bowl. Kasha for the nights that call for something warm. Cream of Buckwheat for the mornings that need 🥣 something slower. And a pancake mix that turns any kitchen into a weekend 🥞

We want to know: what does buckwheat look like in your kitchen? The slow Sunday stack? A weeknight grain bowl 🌾 Kasha with bow ties the way your grandmother made it? Tell us below. We’ve been at this for over two centuries and we’re still learning new ways to love this seed.
