Short answer: "Yes, but..".

Long Answer: "The Mendocino Grain Project is not certified organic, but all of their grains are farmed using biodynamic practices, with soil health and sustainability at front-of-mind. The primary grain farmer for MGP is an active member of the Northern California biodynamic community and studied under John Jeavons."

It's basically the cleanest flour you're likely to find, especially considering the farmer and miller are often literally the same passionate person, and the entire lifecycle of the flour from seed to dough is uncommonly direct and fully traceable.

Our bread flour and all of our mix-ins are all certified organic.

These doughs are extremely wet, and are only really fully cooked on the inside when their crust is baked very dark. The darkness is also key to their flavor, as it represents a complex browning that results from caramelization, maillard reaction, and more. The darker the better, and the more flavorful. It's not burnt, it's charred. To learn more about the culinary difference between charred and burnt food, there are a number of articles on the subject available for reference.

All of our non-whole wheat loaves are a minimum of 30% whole wheat content. Many of our local wheats are white wheats (sonora) or golden colored ancient grains (khorasan) which give our loaves a lighter appearance despite their whole grain content.

We mix (hand mix by the way!) and bulk ferment in stainless steel. We never ferment in plastic, though that is by far the most common medium for sourdough fermentation in bakeries, and for understandable reasons - you can see through the vessel to measure % rise during the bulk fermentation process - very handy, but... Grainsong will never ferment in plastic even if it's currently thought to be 'food safe'.

Almost.

The bags and labels are fully compostable.

The boxes are too, but only after removing the plastic screen.
