Hi Terry, we do appreciate your concerns and your willingness to articulate them here! I'm happy to speak to actions we've been taking in recognition that some have expressed uncertainty and discomfort with glyphosate, even when growers use it as directed and in accordance with its federal approval.

Please note that the Golden Wheat Flour is not a new product, but simply our identity preserved White Wheat Flour with a new name. We’re particularly proud of innovations which we've brought to this flour, which is the first product in our Field-to-Flour program. As part of this program, we’ve been able to introduce steps which allow traceability of the wheat back to the farm it’s sourced from and set specific guidelines around crop management. This includes not permitting the use of glyphosate as a pre-harvest application on the white spring wheat it’s milled from.

While we have discontinued the organic version of the White Whole Wheat flour, we continue to offer Organic Whole Wheat Flour, along with several other certified 100% organic flours, where the use of glyphosate is prohibited. In addition to this, we’ve recently partnered with Clif Bar to fund organic grain research at Washington State University’s Bread Lab in order to further the development of organic agriculture. We’re not stopping there, though, and you can be sure that we’ll continue to work with our supply chain, from farmer to mill to bag, to ensure we’re offering the best products we can to our customers.
