Reviews for: Westwind Milling Co., LLC

I was given some of their pastry flour as a gift a few months back. I was happy that it was organic, and from a Michigan business, but I didn't expect that it would work any different in my recipes. Boy, I was wrong! I used it to make, among other things, some of the best pizza dough I've ever made. What a difference fresh flour makes!

The person who gave it to me explained that your big, commercial flours from the grocery store can be really quite old. Who knows how long they've been on the shelf. And before that, how long they were in warehouses, sitting on pallets, and traveling half way across the country. I just looked at a sack of flour from the grocery store I had in my cupboard. It's 'sell by' date is June 2012!! Your flour could be several YEARS old.

And we know freshly ground coffee is SO much better, and freshly ground herbs and spices are superior. So, it only stands to reason that after the wheat is ground up, it's going to start losing flavors, aromas and degrading as it sits around too.

So, I just made a trip to the store to see the place, and get more flour. The pastry flour I got was milled THAT DAY! And I bought some fun mixes for gifts that were just days old.

Besides the great products, the old mill is a fun place to take people. The store is beautiful. And, as they mention in their profile, there's dairy, honey, syrup and baked goodies too. And there's a charming book store in the same building.

And, I personally don't care about gluten free. But for those who do, the owner said they're finishing up their facilities for making it, so it'll soon be on offer too.

Well this is defiently 5 stars,it just won`t except it at the moment.These owners bring people from all over the state & teach others their knowledge of the market & their products.By the way the seminar was AWESOME & GREAT March14,met you & some other great knowlegeable people.Your a gem in your town & beyond.

Thanks for everything Michael Taylor/Market Manager Mundy Twp.

I found Linda Purdy selling their flour and bake goods at the Oakland County Farmer's Market. They sell out fast so my wife and I decided to drive up to the Mill. It was worth the trip. Lee Purdy was very helpful and we were able to get what we wanted. Every sack of flour was milled that day and our bread and other baked goods never tasted better.

If the Oakland County Farmer's Market is closer for you, call them up and make arrangements to pick your order up there.
