What Niobrara Grain & Milling Offers:
- At Niobrara Grain and Milling, we provide premium, certified organic whole-grain flour that is grown, milled, and packaged right here in Nebraska. Because our operation is entirely vertically integrated, we control every single step of the process. The grain is grown exclusively on our family land (Moreland Farms) using sustainable organic crop rotations, and we custom-hire local hands to help harvest it.
- We offer a wide variety of flours for all your baking and cooking needs: All Purpose, Bread, Turkey Red, and Whole Wheat
"We believe that truly local food means knowing exactly where your grain was planted, how it was handled, and how it was milled. By keeping every step on our family land and using gentle, single-pass impact milling, we preserve the grain's true nutritional integrity. We aren't just selling flour; we're sharing a piece of Nebraska’s soil and sustainable farming future with our neighbors."
Get to Know Your Farmer
Our roots in Nebraska agriculture run deep, with both Janice and Richard dedicating their entire lives to the land. Our journey into specialized milling truly took off in 2022 when we acquired our Unifine mill—a project born from Richard's lasting vision.
Today, we operate as a close-knit family business based out of Valentine, driven by a shared passion for community-oriented food systems and local supply chains. Every member of our team brings a unique piece of history to the table. Janice guides us with over 70 years of invaluable farming and ranching experience, while her children—Bart, Sam, and Nicole—honor Richard’s legacy by managing the entire operation, from day-to-day crop lifecycles and equipment maintenance to technical operations and marketing. We love partnering with regional grocers, bakeries, home bakers, and educational meal programs because we believe high-quality, organic nutrition should be accessible right where it’s grown.
Understanding the Milling Process
From the field, the grain goes directly into our state-of-the-art Unifine Impact Mill. Traditional milling can strip away nutrients or generate heat that cooks out the good stuff, but our impact mill processes the entire kernel instantly into an incredibly fine, cool-milled flour. This preserves 100% of the grain's natural nutritional integrity, oils, and rich flavor. When you bake with our flour, you get a true "field-to-table" product.
