    The Hutterites have a pretty big workforce for keeping busy.

        To sell something in a store like that, you have to sell it in many stores and shelf space is a premium.

        I cant see many people taking time to grind their own flour and then make dough and bake it. This is probably some niche store somewhere. You can go on amazon and see how much bagged product is moving and it aint much

        Better off just to sell a bundle of wheat sheaves.

          One thing my kids are wondering about. In pet stores they sell two inch chunks of deer antler as chew toys for obscene prices. Every year the kids go and collect dozens of sheds from our land. They could make a mint just cutting and selling little hunks of free antlers.

            Since my wife retired from her day job she has been grinding our wheat to make whole wheat flour and bake bread. To get a nice loaf she mixes it with bought enriched white flour at about 40 % and adds gluten. She also grinds flax and mixes it in.
            I have been having her bread toasted every morning for the last couple years and holy crap am I regular!

              And to think I have been giving them away all this time. As the only wheat grower in the area, my crops are popular for weddings and grads and home decorations.

                Nice learning and trying different blend of raw wheat to make different flours for different applications can be a lot of fun and interesting to meet her taste and your ovens abilities. Try blending in some CPS or Winter wheat. Use Soft white for cakes. It is all about the gluten strength in the classes and grades of wheat.

                  You would be surprised on how many people took up baking during the Covid times.

                    Nothing better than coming in for afternoon coffee and finding freshly baked bread just out of the oven. Still warm with honey on it.

                      Not too many slices of bread in a loaf when its hot out of the oven and you get to cut it yourself.
