At Chisholm Trail Milling, we are loyal to the soil. We are loyal to the belief that flour is a key ingredient and that flavor begins in that soil.
Oklahoma farmers grow some of the best wheat in the world. Chisholm Trail Milling has deep roots in Oklahoma’s soil and farming traditions. Learn about our journey and connect to where it all begins.
All our wheat is conventionally cultivated and grown for flavor, not just yield. It is then slowly milled between two natural granite stones, which crushes the wheat into an extremely fine flour that is healthy, digestible, and delicious.
Our flour is freshly milled to order and all the parts of the wheat berry are preserved. This is the way our ancestors made flour and exactly how we make flour today.
We work directly with the Wheat Improvement Team at Oklahoma State University, the Oklahoma Wheat Commission, and the Oklahoma Wheat Grower’s Association to develop public wheat varieties because we are passionate about value and flavor.
Always remember, “What you bake can only be as good as your main ingredient.”
