Ben Penner Farms exists to inspire human flourishing through agriculture. My method is systematic entrepreneurship using a lean framework to learn and continuously improve every facet of the operation. The farm is located in three locations; on 28 acres near Belle Plaine, seven acres near Henderson and 38 acres near LeSueur, Minnesota. All of my products are certified by MOSA Certified Organic. I grow, market and sell alfalfa, hard red winter and spring wheat, food grade soybeans and cover crops. I use no-till organic farming practices using a combination of rye cover crops and crop rotations. If you would like to buy whole grain organic flour please shop at one of these stores!
My wheat is grown by me in Minnesota at 1100 W. South Street in Belle Plaine, MN.
I have a truly local flour. Grown, milled and sold in Minnesota.
Here’s a map where you can find my fields. Send me an email to set up a time to visit!
Hi Ben,
Got your address from Rhonda at the Chameleon in New Prague.
I bake and sell bread at the farmers market there and was just telling someone about Turkey Red flour.
I would like to try baking with it.
Do you do lighter extractions or just whole wheat?
Thanks,
Igor

Igor,
Thank you for contacting me! This season, I only have whole wheat (and whole rye). I could leave a bag or two of the Turkey Red at the counter at Chameleon if you want to pick them up the next time you are in. Let me know if that would work for you, otherwise I can deliver to you.

Hi Ben, I just found your farm as I was doing some searching for wheat farms near me in MN. Do you sell Turkey Red berries? I mill my own flour at home and I usually use Red Fife but would love to try Turkey Red.

I am interested in purchasing Hard Spring Red Wheat berries and also Turkey Red Winter Wheat berries. I live in the Metro and want to mill my own flour. I’m willing to pick up, would this be a possibility?
