These cookies, served at the first River Valley Community Grains community gathering six years ago, really let the nutty flavor of our whole wheat pastry flour shine.

Exactly six years ago, the first meeting of River Valley Community Grains convened in a little old church in Middle Valley, across the street from the South Branch of the Raritan River. We weren’t exactly sure where we were headed, but we knew we had a winning formula—encourage New Jersey farmers to devote small amounts of their land to growing heritage grains, guarantee them a fair price for their crops, and then mill those grains for sale.
