Hayden Flour Mills revives forgotten native grains from the ground up in the Arizona desert - yes, more than cacti can grow and flourish in the desert. Their mission is to take you from lackluster, over-processed wheat into a world alive with flavor, texture, aroma, and nutrients through heritage grains and the art of stone milling. 

Stone milling is an old world process where the whole grain is crushed into flour by rotating stones. Unlike modern roller mills that tend to shave off and discard the flavor and nutrients found in whole grains, our process of stone milling in small batches preserves the natural oils and nutrients of the grain, creating a more flavorful, nutrient-dense product. While it’s hard, labor-intensive work, they believe it’s well worth it.
