Fifteen pounds of grain in a printed cotton bag instead of plastic. This is a food grade cotton bag, but it is not made of organic cotton. Therefore, once the grain is placed in this bag, it is no longer considered certified organic.

We will still place the cotton bag inside another plastic bag for protection from the weather during shipping (unless you email us and ask otherwise).

This bread flour in not from an heirloom wheat and is not certified organic. Look under our wheat tab for Red Fife wheat (and flour) for an organic, heirloom option.

Hard Red Spring (HRS) wheat makes some of the best bread flour in the world. Though Illinois is a little too far south and usually a little too wet to be considered an ideal environment for bread wheat, we've found a variety (Glenn) that is respectable when grown here. It's a good taste, and popular with some Europeans, but a bit overpowering for most Americans if used straight. For most applications I suggest cutting it with another type of flour (or using our premixed All Purpose Flour) because of its strong flavor.

Our sifted hard spring wheat flour (around 80% extraction) has a substantial amount of bran and germ left in it (indicated by it's tan/light brown color), which allows the strong taste of this variety to still come through.

We are looking for feedback on these soybeans. They are a clear hilum, high protein, food soybean that should make good tofu, soy milk etc. I've seen 3 generations of these, and the seeds had always been rather large. This years crop, however, was not and is a more typical soybean size.

Growing up in a Midwest farming culture, I've grown soybeans all my life, but have little experience with tofu. I would be happy to send samples for anyone who has experience and could give me feed back.

They are not cleaned up yet, so this requires you to sort out some field debris. We will have them cleaned up in the future.

They are certified organic and non-GMO.

A hard red spring (HRS) bread wheat popular in Canada from around 1860 until the early 1900s, when it was replaced by better yielding varieties (though not better tasting). An heirloom variety that pre-dates the intensive breeding that occurred during the "green revolution" of the 1940s and 1950s.

Certified organic

Red Fife has less gluten than our HRS (Glenn) variety, and is therefore harder to make into bread. However, it is heirloom, certified organic and I feel has a superior flavor.

FLOUR: Red Fife sifted

3 cup flour
1 ½ cup water
2 teaspoons salt
¼ teaspoon yeast

Mix ingredients then knead, with a kitchen-aid or by hand, for 5 minutes.
Let sit at room temperature for 2 hours, covered with a towel. Then sit in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, covered. The dough can sit in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
When ready to make bread, break off a softball size dough ball and flatten it. Sprinkle with a tablespoon of sugar or honey. Fold 5 to 10 times, and place into a well oiled loaf pan, flatten the dough out to the shape of the pan. Cover with a towel and let rise at room temperature for at least 1 hour. The dough won't quite double.
Preheat oven to 425 F. Bake for 15 minutes and then brush with butter or oil. Bake another 10 minutes.
Cool before slicing

Historical Fiction: A story of redemption

Sweden, December of 1852

Fourteen-year-old Tore Neeson, the village trouble-maker, steals a master carpenter's priceless Nativity to save his sister's life, but a reversal of fortune leaves him more destitute and desperate than ever. To his frustration, he soon finds himself indentured to the very man he wronged.

In his angry struggle to free himself from the control of the inflexible Herr Andersson and the censure of other disapproving villagers, Tore blinds himself to the knowledge that all that stands between him and complete ruin is his most feared and hated enemy: the woodmaster.

This is for a deposit on half a certified organic beef delivered to Eureka, Illinois locker late next SPRING (2024). Typically, half a beef will be around 300 lbs hanging weight. Total cost of JUST the beef is $6 per pound times actual hanging weight. (i.e. 300 lbs x $6 = $1800.)

Locker/processing fees are an additional $300 to $400. Depending on how you want it cut and packaged.

Actual meat is less than hanging weight. Depending on how much bone-in vs. boneless cuts and shrink that occurs during hanging.

If shipping outside of the SpeeDee delivery area (Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnisota, the Dakotas, parts of Nebraska and the St. Louis Missouri metro area) this may be subject to UPS shipping surcharges for dimensional weight. (these are bulky and light). The shipping rates quoted during checkout may not be correct. Please email me at brian@qualityorganic.com for shipping surcharges associated with shipping these outside of the SpeeDee delivery area. Also, purchasing other heavy items in the same order could help avoid dimensional weight surcharges as well.
