Organic options include Fieldstone Organics in Alberta and Organic Homestead Farm in North Dakota.
Sprouted and Stone Ground Flours
The sprouting process greatly enhances nutrition and digestibility, allowing the body to digest it more like a vegetable than a grain. For sprouted flour, check out Lindley Mills in North Carolina and Everspring Farms in Ontario.
Stone-ground flours are believed to be more nutritionally sound because they contain the germ and bran. Incidentally, these are the parts that hold a lot of flavor, too. You can read more about choosing when to use stone-ground versus roller-milled. Two Brooks Farm in Louisiana offers stone-ground rice flour. Next, Barton Spring Mills in Texas carries a diverse mix of stone-ground corn flour. Finally, Palouse Trading in Washington offers stone-ground flour made from chickpeas.
Pulse and Seed Flours
This category is one of the biggest on Fieldcraft. Chickpea flour leads the way with suppliers including Southwest Processors in Arizona, Evi International Group in Florida, Palouse Trading in Washington, and for sprouted flour, Everspring Farms in Ontario.

Hazelnut Growers of Oregon supplies hazelnut flour and High Rock Farm offers flour made from chestnuts grown in their orchard.
