Where can I find local sorghum flour?

by Annie McGill » Wed Mar 07, 2012 4:02 pm

We have to ship it in from CA right now. Farm to Table program said I may have to ask a farm to grow it for me. It needs to be made on a farm that only grows sorghum so as not to cross-contaminate the grains since we are a dedicated gluten free facility. Any leads as to who I could contact would be appreciated. Thanks!

I think a sorghum farm comes to the Douglass Boulevard farmers' market on Saturdays at 10 a.m. Might be worth a quick run by. Douglass Boulevard Christian Church, Bardstown at Douglass (between Douglass and Woodford Place).

Thanks! I called everyone on the sorghum producers list and their prices were outrageous! More expensive than what I am paying now and that includes the shipping cost! Found the whole grain at Barry Farm in Ohio for .98/cup. KY farms (that had grain) were charging $2.67/cup. I want to buy very local but this makes it so much more difficult. :(
