Our family is looking forward to being vendors at this year’s Logging Festival - Newaygo, MI on Saturday and Sunday! Our family of 7 all live in Newago Co. and we work together to make handmade crafts and goods to sell. One of our teens has published 4 children’s books now and she is excited to show off them off to her local and widespread supportive community. Her twin sister is selling her hand-sewn plush chickens and is taking orders for the plush dragons she makes to match her sister’s books. This twin has also created a chicken game called, “Chicken Scratch”.

New week begins tomorrow and this time I am sprouting the grains early so I am hopefully not up until 2am baking the night before market day 😅. What a difference the sprouted grains made! We love learning around here and from the journey of doing sourdough for 4 years to pivoting to fresh milled grains and now to sprouting the grains first - there is so much knowledge gained and happy bellies!
Also…any locals want eggs 😅 4.00 a dozen from pasture raised, non gmo feed, lots of snuggles and pampered hens!

I milled most of the wheat berries last night (picture is from this morning with a batch I’m starting to make Friday night for Saturday’s market) and the bagels made with a “Yudane” method - which is wayyy easier than the Tangzhong method (though a longer method because it has to sit in the fridge for 12 hours before being added to the main dough. The bagels will sit for another cold ferment to even more develop the flavor and digestibility even more!

Last night the grains @ legumes were ready to be dried so I divided them between our dehydrator and our oven and rotated them and moved them around every so often since there was so much of it.
They feel very dry this morning but I will be waiting until most likely noon to do a test if they are truly bone dry. They must be 100% dry before I can mill them in my Nutrimill Classic grain mill.

Day 3 of sprouting grains & legumes to use for the baked goods we will be selling on Friday and Saturday!
And….We have little tails growing!
Once these are the full length of the “seed” they will dried/dehydrated over 24 hours before they will be ground into freshly milled flour to be used for making pizza crusts, blueberry muffins, and Ezekiel Bread.

Our Homestead is a full-on family business. Yes, our kids are still young yet but we could not do what we do without everyone helping each other out! Our kids have learned so many skills and we continue to learn and grow and thrive together every day!

What flour do you use?
👉 Did you know that even quality flour from the store - because it has to be shelf-stable - it is a “d e a d” flour? Because they have to sift out the wheat & germ to make it shelf stable, that quality flour has barely any nutritional value.
👉 Even if you have a mill but then sift out the bran & germ, all the benefits from that Freshly Milled flour are still barely anything because the nutrition is all in that bran & germ.
If you use a sourdough starter - that starter will be great for your gut and taste amazing and would make any nutrients and minerals in the flour it is added to accessible for your body to absorb but…if it’s added to flour that has been sifted…there isn’t a nutritional bank for the sourdough to make available for us.

🍞 A grain mill is a huge investment (we saved up for two years before we got one ourselves) and there is a learning curve with using whole freshly milled flour - but the benefits of having and using that FMF far outweighs the cost!

Not only do we have baked goods made with freshly milled whole wheat flour that we are selling at the Newago and Big Rapids Farmer’s Market 👉 👉 but this week we will also be featuring “sprouted” freshly milled flour along with sprouted legumes, & grains for making Ezekiel Bread & lower carb pizza crust. Our signature blueberry muffins will also be made with sprouted soft wheat berries! The benefits of sprouted wheat are below: 👇
(Make sure to check back on our page each day this week to see the process of what it takes to sprout the ingredients and turn them into incredible baked goods!)
Keep reading for the benefits!👇

👉 Enhanced Nutrition - Natural Bioavailability:
Sprouting unlocks trapped vitamins and minerals—such as iron, folate, zinc, and magnesium—making them easier for your body to absorb.Intact whole-grain properties: Freshly milled flour retains the complete bran and germ, preserving natural Vitamin E, B-complex vitamins, and healthy oils that store-bought white flours strip away.
👉 Better Digestion - reduced phytic acid: The germination process neutralizes enzyme inhibitors, which significantly eases digestion. Pre-digested starches: Sprouting converts complex starches into simpler sugars, lowering the glycemic impact and reducing the heavy, sluggish feeling often caused by standard whole-wheat items.
👉 Improved Baking and Flavor - Richer taste: Fresh milling provides a deep, earthy aroma, while sprouting naturally mellows and sweetens the grain with simpler sugars.Softer texture: Enzymatic activity during sprouting helps create a more tender crumb and a more open, airy structure in breads.
