Description

Graanbroeders, located in Gaasterland, the Netherlands, is dedicated to cultivating ancient grains through regenerative farming methods. They emphasize the use of traditional agricultural techniques, avoiding artificial fertilizers and pesticides, allowing their grains to develop naturally and be rich in proteins, vitamins, minerals, and flavor.

After harvesting, Graanbroeders processes the grains using their own stone mill with a basalt millstone. This artisanal milling method preserves the grains’ natural oils and nutrients, resulting in high-quality flour and meal. They offer their products to both professional bakers and home bakers, with options available through their webshop and various farm stores.

While the specific types of ancient grains cultivated by Graanbroeders are not explicitly mentioned, ancient grains typically include varieties such as spelt, emmer, and einkorn. Their commitment to regenerative agriculture ensures that these grains are grown in harmony with nature, promoting soil health and biodiversity.
