FAQ

This refers to the biological farming method used to cultivate our wheat.  After harvesting we leave the plant rests on the field to form natural humus. This reduces the need for chemical fertilizer. We aim to take better care of the soil in order to produce a healthier plant, which needs less pesticides.

No, our product is not organic and we have never claimed to be. It is not sustainable to cultivate wheat organically in our region. We however, aim to cultivate a healthier wheat plant by taking better care of our soil. The appearance of earthworms in our soil have visibly increased over the past few years and this is a good indication of soil conditions suitable for healthy plant growth.

We have had feedback from several gluten intolerant users who report that they do not have the same symptoms of stomach cramps or feeling bloated as experienced with commercially milled flour, when eating Bio-Wheat™ bread. The reason for this being, that we retain most of the wheat germ in our flour during the milling process. The wheat germ contains all the essential vitamins and minerals, but also the enzymes required to digest the protein in gluten.  We mill our flour coarser and at a lower temperature and speed than commercially milled flour in order to retain most of the valuable wheat germ in our product.

Yes! Most of our wheat is sourced from our own farm and from trusted suppliers in our area, so we can guarantee the traceability of our product.
