  • Small's Family Farm produces two wholesale flour varieties: a High Gluten Flour milled from high-quality spring wheat varieties selected for exceptional protein quality and baking performance — ideal for pizza dough, bagels, and artisan loaves — and a Low Gluten Flour milled from hard red winter wheat, a versatile all-purpose option well-suited for breads, pastries, pasta, and general kitchen use. Both are available in 50 lb. bags. Contact us for current availability and specialty grain offerings.

  • We work directly with restaurants, bakeries, and culinary professionals. To get started, reach out to Seth at [tsethsmall@gmail.com] or fill out the wholesale inquiry form on our website.

If you don't see your market listed, reach out — we're expanding throughout the West.

  • Everything starts in the field. We select grain varieties based on how they perform in a professional kitchen — flavor, nutritional density, and baking consistency — not maximum yield. Our regenerative farming practices, including cover crops, no field burning, and identity-preserved varieties, produce grain with greater complexity than commodity alternatives. Every bag is fully traceable to the specific Walla Walla Valley field and lot it came from. No brokers, no blending, no middlemen.

  • Small's Family Farm is Salmon-Safe certified and Food Alliance certified, reflecting our commitment to sustainable, regenerative farming practices. We grow using the least disruptive means possible and do not add malted barley, iron, or synthetic additives to our flour — it's straight wheat. For specific certification questions, contact us directly. Always happy to chat.

  • No. Our flour is produced from wheat and processed in a facility that handles wheat. It is not suitable for individuals with celiac disease or severe gluten sensitivity.

  • Our flour is available wholesale through Merlino Foods and Chef's Warehouse, serving restaurants and bakeries across the Western U.S. For the most current list of accounts carrying our flour, contact us directly.
