Amish Organic Spelt Berry 25 lb

The Amish farms use the Oberkulmer variety of spelt. Obekulmer is an older cultivar, a pure spelt variety with no wheat germ. It has a very high grain protein, making it ideal for making bread, an Amish specialty. In fact, the Ohio Seed Improvement Association, which works closely with Amish farmers, ranks Oberkulmer grain protein at a half percent higher than other varieties. Oberkulmer also yields higher, more robust yields without modification, making it ideal for smaller Amish farms.

Oberkulmer was imported from Switzerland and has been followed and tested by the Ohio Seed Improvement Association since 1989.

Note: Spelt grains are processed in the same Amish mill as wheat grains, so we do not claim that they will be totally gluten-free. 

Spelt offers an excellent source of Vitamin B2, Manganese, Niacin, Thiamine, and copper. 

For more information, just Google "Spelt".

We sell organic spelt in 25 lb bags. 

Please limit orders to 50 lbs. UPS does not calculate additional boxes for shipments over 50 lbs.

Grain products ship fresh directly off an Amish farm that does not provide electronic tracking numbers. Tracking numbers are available upon request. Please allow 7-10 days for shipping.

About Stutzman Farms

Cottage Craft Works is proud to provide such a high-quality supply of organic bulk foods. These foods are processed on an Amish family-run farm that has been growing organically for over 6 decades.

If you are looking for high-quality, certified organic grains to mill yourself or purchase milled flour, you have found the place to buy them in bulk.

Stutzman Family Farms has grown organic grains in the rolling hills of Holmes County, Ohio, for over 60 years. Long before organic certification existed, the Stutzman family had practiced organic soil management to achieve rich, fertile soil and high-quality grains in keeping with their Amish heritage.

Stutzman Farms is organically certified through the Ohio Ecological Food & Farm Association (OEFFA). The Stutzman family processes a variety of natural organic grains.

Food processing of organic grains is completed at Stutzman Farms. The Ohio Department of Agriculture routinely inspects these facilities.

All grains and grain products processed on the Stutzman Farms are organically grown.

Stutzman Farms specializes in growing and harvesting Spelt, Wheat, Oats, Rye, and Corn on Ohio Amish Farms using the old-time planting and harvesting methods.

Grains such as Amaranth, Barley, Long Grain Brown Rice, Buckwheat, and Golden Flaxseed may not adapt well to the Ohio climate.  In this case, these grains may be grown in limited supply or supplemented by other organic growers from across the United States. These organic growers may include other Amish organic farmers and non-Amish traditional organic farmers.  

Grains are stored and processed right on the farm. Each order is hand-filled right from the farm storage facilities.

Despite their Amish back-to-basics heritage, the Stutzman family keeps up with the modern needs of health-conscious eaters.  They now offer sprouted-grain products and continue to improve their processing and machinery to provide the highest-quality products available at any health food store.

Orders are still processed manually (the old-fashioned way) and shipped directly from the Amish farm in Ohio. Please allow a few extra days for your order to arrive.

Because the Amish farm is not computerized, we do not have electronic tracking to automatically update your order status from processing to shipping. Orders are shipped using the old-style UPS book. Manual tracking numbers are kept at the farm in case we ever need to trace a package.

Our Amish grain products are very popular with many repeat customers.

Please note our 50 lb. shipping limit: UPS unfortunately does not calculate the second box when orders exceed 50 lbs.

For this reason, and to keep our overall prices low for now, we must limit orders to two 25-lb. bags per order.  We apologize for the inconvenience. We have explored all alternatives and will continue to do so. 

While consuming whole grains and grain products is generally recommended by healthcare professionals for all the known health and nutrition benefits, some people may develop adverse reactions leading to severe and life-threatening allergic reactions or complications within the digestive system or bowel tract.

People new to whole grains or a specific grain product should conduct their own research to understand how it is digested, its health benefits, and any risks, to make an informed purchasing decision. 

New grains and products should be used in small amounts until the person can determine how they will tolerate them.

People with known digestive tract or bowel complications should consult a physician before starting a new whole-grain-enriched diet. Some whole-grain products are water-insoluble and may bulk up, further obstructing an already partially obstructed bowel.
