One Mighty Mill stands for a small but mighty resistance to homogenization and industrialization of what we eat. And it stands for food that matters to the communities it comes from, the people who make it, and in the end, everyone who tastes it.
We source as much organic wheat as we can from Matt and Sara, our very first partners in Maine. In our first year of business, they grew almost 90% of the grain we milled. About half of that harvest was “transitional” (i.e. grown organically but on a field that hadn’t yet been certified). And while 100% of their fields are organic now, we’re proud that our partnership helped them convert.
In year 2, we’ve expanded our network to include a couple other organic farmers from other parts of the country. Like Matt and Sara, they grow 100% organic and without pesticides. But, we’re not forgetting about the importance of transitional. We think it’s a critical step in helping to build the next generation of organic farms.
