I called the Alpharetta Harry’s and they do not have it, but the Marietta one does. They gave me a $27.99 price for 50 pounds of Hard Red Wheat Berries, I’m going to go by there this weekend hopefully.

Harry’s in Marietta carries organic hard white and red wheat berries for under $30 for 50 pounds. Not sure if their Alpharetta store carries it. The cheapest yeast I’ve found is at BJ Wholesale, $4.50 for 2 1-lb packs (with an 18 month shelf life).

I just moved to the Atlanta area and am looking for places to buy wheat grain. Breadbeckers is alot more expensive than the source I was using in another state (I was paying $20 for a 50 lb. bag through a co-op). Any suggestions? Thanks!

I know this is an old post, but wanted to share a resource I’ve found that may be helpful to others who are reading these comments. I follow several blogs, including this one, that all rave about Azure Standard. I got their catalog, was THRILLED at the awesome assortment of items they had and the affordable price.. but then my excitement went away when I realized that they don’t deliver here in the South (freight just too expensive). Anyways, after a long search for a good grain source that wouldn’t kill me on shipping costs, I finally found Honeyville Grain (http://honeyvillegrain.com/). I ordered from there because they had shipping for only $4.xx flat no matter how much you ordered! It was such a blessing to find a place where I could afford to have the grain shipped to my house. I’ll admit, I haven’t used any of it yet but i hear from others that the grain is good. My purchase was for long-term, emergency storage. Anyways, just thought I’d share. In my area, there aren’t any grain resources other than Whole Foods which you have to be rich to buy more than a little bulk grian there.

FYI: The orange 5-gallon pails sold at Home Depot are not recommended for food storage. The orange color is not food-grade material according to Ruth Goldman Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Argee Corp. Argee makes the buckets for Home Depot. This is based on an email from him dated 3-10-2010.

have you tried Breadbeckers.com out of Georgia? That’s where I get my grain and sweetners. I’ve recently switched to dried molasses but I think they’re carrying sucanat again.

Yes, I buy all my bulk grains from Azure Standard. They may or may not ship to where you live, but it is definitely worth checking out because of their great prices. They also sell bulk corn for milling. Another excellent source is Bob's Red Mill that ships everything.

Can you please tell me where you buy your bulk grains. Do you know anyone who carries bulk corn for milling? Thanks!

I buy bulk grain as it will not spoil or go rancid as would bulk flour. It is usually about 1.5 cups milled flour to 1 cup whole grain.
