Our Wheat Berries -
Explore our wheat varieties to decide which grains are right for your needs, so you can mill in your own kitchen.
Hard red spring
Rich in protein and gluten strength, ideal for artisan sourdough loaves and hearty sandwich breads. Known for its bold, rich, and nutty flavour.
Hard white wheat
High protein content, milder and sweeter flavor; lighter-colored bran that looks and tastes closer to white bread. Great for sandwich loaves, burger buns, english muffins, cinnamon rolls, pizza crust, and more.
Soft white wheat
*We also have an organic option in Soft White
Low protein and weak gluten formation. This makes the resulting flour tender rather than chewy. Ideal for pastry flour used in cakes, cookies, pie crusts, muffins, pancakes, and quick breads.
Durum wheat
High in protein, and a more golden colour. Most commonly used for homemade pasta, Indian flat breads like Roti, Chapati, Naan and Mexican tortillas. Also great for pizza crusts.

Our story
Life Grain started from a desire to bring real nutrition back to our daily bread. In 2021, at a local church event, we met a family who are grain farmers in Alberta. We became fast friends and visited them the following summer. Our friends made all their breads, cookies, muffins and pancakes from scratch, using fresh milled flour grown on their own farm. The taste was so delicious, and the nutritional benefits um-matched to store-bought flour. They sent us home with 100lbs of Hard Red wheat and money to buy a mill. We were so blessed by their hospitality!
We offer a variety of wheat berries locally in the Fraser Valley to people who want to join in making nutritious food for their families.
We are based in Mission, British Columbia and we source wheat berries from conventional farms that preserve the germ, bran, and endosperm. When you mill fresh at home, you restore all the natural vitamins, minerals, and rich flavour that commercial flour leaves behind.
These wheat berries are all non-GMO, no glyphosate, and pesticide free.
Why mill your own grain?
Store-bought white flour is stripped of the bran and germ, leaving only the starchy endosperm. Milling your whole grains at home preserves the full spectrum of vitamins (like B-complex and Vitamin E), minerals (iron, zinc, magnesium), healthy fats, fiber, and antioxidants.
Whole flour begins to lose its essential nutrients shortly after grinding. By milling just what you need, you unlock incomparable flavour, natural sweetness, and maximum nutritional vitality in every bake.
I always recommend people buy their own home mill to ensure maximum freshness and nutritional value. Though purchasing a mill is an investment, it certainly pays for itself in the long run. The health and taste benefits cannot compare. See my Milling Guide for mill suggestions.
Start your fresh flour journey
Prior to meeting our friends in Alberta, I thought the only way to buy flour was in a Robin Hood all-purpose flour bag at the local grocery store. Once we tried their fresh milled breads, muffins, and cookies, I was sold! I immediately noticed I felt content after eating fresh milled items instead of bloated. One of my children has also had chronic constipation but now that we have switched to fresh milled flour, they no longer have any issues.

Customer Reviews
"I was honestly surprised by how good these wheat berries taste. I expected them to taste “healthy,” the kind of healthy that feels like a sacrifice. They don’t. Milled fresh into bread, the flavour is rich and a little bit sweet, and my whole family notices the difference. This is the wheat that made me fall in love with baking from scratch. We won’t go back to store bought flour."
Ashley, Maple Ridge
"I am shocked at how easy the dough is to work with. I don't know what I was thinking it was going to be like, but I thought it would be harder to deal with. I have never gotten a true window pane with my old flour, this was extraordinarily easy."
Lori, Abbotsford
