About the Gailertsreuther Mühle

The Gailertsreuther Mühle in Floß (Gailertsreuth) in the Upper Palatinate is a traditional grain mill whose tradition, according to its own statements, dates back to 1612. Since 2008 the operation has been recognised as a purely organic mill. The mill processes rye, wheat, spelt, emmer, einkorn, kamut, buckwheat, maize, sweet chestnuts and oats for food into flours, semolinas and cracked grain. The raw materials come partly from its own farming and partly from farmers in the region. Milling is carried out in several stages and gently, powered by water power and green electricity. According to the organic certificate, the activities include processing, including dehulling and milling of threshed grains, as well as the production of pasta and the processing of seeds. Distribution takes place via an online shop with shipping as well as via points of sale.
