Borealis Breads is proud to be taking a
leadership role in the use of Maine agricultural products.

All the whole wheat flour we use, over 80,000 pounds per year,
comes from Maine. It's grown and milled by Matt Willliams
at Aurora Mills in Linneus, near Houlton.

We are currently using organic Maine-grown wheat
from Aurora Mills in several of our breads, including
the Rustic Baguette, French Peasant, Multi-Grain,
and Aroostook Wheat.

These breads are available throughout Maine
and New Hampshire. These and other products can be
found at our retail stores in Maine.

There are three wheat varieties grown on Matt's farm:
‘Maxine’ winter wheat, and ‘Grandin’ and ‘AC Walton’ spring
wheats. The wheat is cleaned at the farm and milled there on
a twenty-inch commercial Meadows mill.

In addition to producing really good bread from Maine-grown
organic wheat, we are:

• encouraging consumers to purchase locally-grown and produced foods,
  
• reducing sprawl by providing an economic basis for continued agricultural use of open spaces,
  
• creating market-driven demand for Maine-grown organic wheat,
  
• enhancing the health of Maine cropland by encouraging organic farming,
  
• promoting sustainable agriculture.

Please help us support the Maine economy by buying food products grown and produced locally.
