Single Source Short Run: Spelt
SPELT FROM VOGEL FAMILY FARMS IN MINDEN CITY MI
Golden Spelt is an ancient precursor to wheat. It has a warm, nutty flavor that modern hybrid wheats simply do not deliver. It also has a greater concentration of nutrients than modern wheat, especially protein and antioxidants. Its gluten structure is gentler (and easier for many to digest) than the gluten in modern superhybrid wheats.
MILLED AT JANIE'S MILL IN ASHKUM IL
The Vogel Family's spelt is milled at Janie's Mill in Ashkum Illinois, a leading organic miller right in Long Table's back yard.

SHORT-RUN SINGLE SOURCE SERIES
Each 12oz heirloom grain pancake mix in this series will feature grains from just one regenerative farm, bringing you stories of how that farmer is working to hand a longer and better future down to the next generations. Explore the rich variety of nutrition-dense flavors that prior generations worked so hard to hand down to us. Simply scan the QR code on each bag to see these stories.
Sourcing in this way allows us to showcase the meaningful but often invisible work that these farmers do, day in and day out. This direct trade relationship also guarantees a fair price for their crop.
Thank you for supporting a regenerative farm today! It is your interest in regenerative farming that will convince more farmers to farm more acres more responsibly.
Simple Instructions:
- Mix together the egg, the melted butter (you can use oil as well), and the milk (you can use non-dairy milks of all kinds).

FAQ
How many pancakes does it make? →
1lb bag: 50 4 inch pancakes, 10 at a time. 12oz bag: will make 40 4 inch pancakes, 10 at a time. Shake Packs: 10 4 inch pancakes (or 6 6 inch pancakes).
Can I make waffles with these? → Yes. Add 2T/30g liquid to any of our pancake instructions.
Is it organic? → All of the grains in our pancake mixes are organic. We are a small operation and it doesn’t make sense for us to pay to certify organic. Yet.
Why is there so much protein? → We use heirloom grains with high protein content and (sometimes) nut meal. We do not use any industrially manufactured protein powders.
Is it NON-GMO? → Yes it is. GMO foods are bad for the soil, bad for biodiversity, bad for the resilience of local economies, bad for long-term pest management, and really bad for family farms. We are a small operation and it doesn’t make sense for us to certify Non-GMO. Yet.
It is Vegan? → All of our mixes are vegan. View vegan preparation instructions.
Is it whole grain? → Yes. Yes. All of our pancake mixes are not just whole grain, but whole-kernel. Our grains are stone-milled, which is the most complete kind of grain you can eat. Most so-called 'whole grains' have the germ (the most nutritious part of the grain) removed to extend shelf life. It's a trick, and we don't use it.
What are Heirloom Grains? → Heirloom grains are grains selected and planted from the best of each year’s crop, as was done for thousands of years before the industrial revolution. They have a variety and richness of flavor that modern grains simply cannot approach. Many of them contain gluten, but their gluten structures are fundamentally different: gentler, easier to digest.
How come popcorn flour is so low on the White Knight ingredient list? → Because it’s so light, and ingredients are listed by weight. It’s over half the product, by volume. That’s the whole point ;)
