Ground Up

How many things in your pantry can you actually trace back to where they came from? We think about that a lot at Ground Up. Not only do we source every grain from farms we know and trust in the Northeast, we put exactly how much farmland each bag supports right on the packaging. Every 5lb bag of our flour directly supports 95 square feet of Northeast farmland. Every 3lb bag supports 57 square feet. Land where grains are grown as cover crops, keeping the soil healthy, the water clean, and a local food system alive. That’s why buying local isn’t just a nice idea, it has a real, measurable impact. And we want you to see it every time you reach for your flour. #localfoods #localflour #agriculture #sustainability #knowyourfood

Have you baked with rye flour before? If not, this is a great place to start. 🌾 Our Organic Light Danko Rye is stone-milled from a hearty winter grain with roots in Poland, grown right here in Newfield, NY at Oechsner Farms. It's got a fresh, grassy flavor that does something really special in breads, crackers, cookies, cakes - honestly it's more versatile than people expect. The "light" means we've sifted out just enough bran and germ to give you a lighter, fluffier bake than a dark rye, without losing what makes rye so good in the first place. Worth adding to your baking rotation. Link in bio. 🙏 #ryeflour #rye #baking #bakingfromscratch #bakinglove #homeimprovements #summertrends #local #flour #localflour #stonemilled #stonemilledflour

This is where it all starts. 🌾 Right now our farmers are out in the fields doing what they do best. Thrall Family Farm in Windsor, CT has Soft White Winter Wheat that's been growing since fall and is standing tall. They're also no-till planting Spring Wheat as we speak. Over in Ghent, NY, North Creek Organics has Spring Wheat coming in beautifully. The farmers are feeling good about this season and honestly, being this connected to where our grain comes from never gets old. From their hands to our mill to your kitchen. This is what a local food chain looks like. 🌱👑 #know #your #food #knowyourfood #knowyourfoodsource #knowyourfoodknowyourfarmer #local #localfoods #farm #farmtotable #FreshFlour #local #flour #localflourmill #stonemilledgrains

Earth Day is a good reminder that the land we grow food on is worth protecting. When farmland thrives, we all do. Supporting local, sustainable grain farms is one small way to be part of that. Grateful today (and every day) for the farmers keeping this land alive and growing. 🙏 Featuring: Thrall Farms, Hudson Hops & Grains, Dancing Grain & Breathe Deep. #earthday #nofarmsnofood #groundupgrain #farmtotable #knowyourfarmer

If you’ve never made tortillas at home, today’s the day. 🫓🌾 It’s really not that complicated. A few simple ingredients, a hot skillet, and about 30 minutes of your time. The hardest part is waiting for them to cool down before eating one straight off the pan (we won’t judge if you don’t). And when you make them with stone-milled flour? The flavor is just on another level. Softer, warmer, more complex than anything you’d pull from a store-bought pack. Once you try it, going back feels wrong. We’ve got the recipe on our site, link in bio. Give it a shot this week. Your tacos will thank you. 🌾 #Tortillas #fresh #flour #freshflour #stonemilledflour #knowyourmiller #localbusiness #localbusinessowner #agriculture #bakingfromscratch #baking #bakingtime #bakingwithlove❤️ #bakingtips #fortheloveofbaking #bakinglover #bakingfun

Same roots. New chapter. Double the flour. 🌾 We’ve been seeing some questions, and we love that you’re paying attention, so let’s clear it up. @groundupgrain isn’t going anywhere. Ground Up is still here, still stone milling, still doing what it’s always done, producing small-batch, stone-milled flour from Northeast-grown grains. That hasn’t changed, and it won’t. What IS new is @coastalqueenmilling , our sister brand, born from the same values and the same love of regional grain, but built around a different process: roller milling. Here’s the difference in a nutshell: Ground Up: stone milled, rustic character, whole grain depth Coastal Queen: roller milled, consistent performance, accessible price point Same commitment to Northeast-grown, certified grains. Same belief that flour should be honest, clean, and rooted in the land it comes from. Two distinct products for two different baking needs. Think of them as sisters… different personalities, same heart. We’re so grateful for this community and your curiosity. More from both of us coming very soon. 🤍 #bakelikeaqueen #stonemilledflour #freshflour #northeastgrown #localflourmill
