Farmer Direct Foods mills whole-grain, stone-ground flour for home kitchens and commercial bakeries, with products traceable back to the Kansas family farmers who grew the wheat. The company emphasizes regenerative farming practices such as minimal tilling, crop rotation, and dry farming, and uses a patented Identity Assurance process to track wheat from beginning to end.

Arbaugh Farm is located in the southeast part of West Virginia and was originally purchased by Julian Arbaugh's great-grandfather in 1925. It was a small dairy until about 1966, when production refocused on beef cattle and hay. In 2017 the farm added sorghum syrup and an on-farm flour mill. The Mill stone grinds heritage grains into cornmeal, grits, and various flours for retail and restaurants, and the farm also raises grass-fed beef cattle and produces small-batch sorghum syrup.
