I got Judy Cornell's name from the bakery in Livingston and called her on the phone and was enthralled from the moment we began to have a conversation–this is a real person who cares about her business and her mission to make available wonderful fresh healthy flours available to everyone who desires them. I have baked with the flours and they are just wonderful. Thank you Judy for doing what you do.

I just wanted to tell you how much I love baking with Snowgoose, it's my favorite so far. Wow does it create the most beautiful color, and I've started blending it with a coarse-ground semolina and it makes the best match.

Thank you so much for your recommendations...I have been baking sourdough bread with your Old and Ancient. This flour has been a game changer for me. I am so grateful to Jen with Rustic Sourdough who recommended You and your flour.  Also am excited to know I can try baking sandies with this flour, yay! Thank you for your recipe. This delights me!

I so appreciate being able to buy such wonderful, thoughtfully produced grains from you, and use them almost daily in some form, whether it be pancakes, bread, pasta, muffins, etc.

Just a quick note to say how much I and my bread nerd buddies have enjoyed the pumpernickel flour. Even using it in combination with standard bread flour and a bit of other whole wheat flours, the distinctive rye flavor comes through strongly. The texture is very nice and chewy and it’s a joy to bake with. Many thanks once again to Conservation Grains, especially in these ‘interesting times’!
