Membership agreement
This is a buyers-group to access organic white spelt flour in Vancouver, BC, Canada. With all of our research to get white spelt flour in Vancouver, it is extremely difficult to get white spelt flour, as the mills are having a difficult time to make it cost effective for them to ship to Vancouver.
Having access to a large bank of spelt eaters (Spelties) and valuable contact with Canadian spelt flour mills, we are able to buy a metric tonne at a time of organic white spelt flour to supply our customers.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
White spelt flour price: (minimum order is 20 kg)
- 20 kg bag of organic white spelt flour is $130.00. ($6.50/kg)
The price could increase with the grain & the supplier’s price increase and shipping. We cannot guarantee to keep that price as low and hoping it will stay, as this is our ultimate goal.
Note: We are not supplying at this time Whole spelt flour.
Membership fee: *(This is a non-refundable fee.)
• $25/year (plus tax) total of $28.00 per person or per family.
The membership privileges apply only for the membership holder (individuals or a family living together).
- There is no commitment to buy a certain amount of flour, unless you want to, to make sure you always have your supply of flour.
- If we have it, you can get it, if we are out, you will have to wait for the next shipment to arrive. If you would like to reserve ahead of time, we will need to have your order pre-paid.
Warning: We cannot unfortunately guarantee an abundant supply of flour, as the mill can discontinue shipment to Vancouver anytime, leaving all of us without any white spelt flour. The membership fee cannot be refunded if such an incident would occur. Let’s hope that will never happen.

Where does the flour come from?
The flour comes from different sources in Canada and could take 1 week to get to Vancouver when we order. It is Canadian grown organic white spelt flour with a protein count between 12 & 14 %, without that minimum amount of protein in the flour, it is not possible to get enough spelt gluten to make bread. Being informed and knowing spelt so much, we will always be certain to have that quality flour get to you each time. We strive and are proud to get Canadian spelt flour and supply Vancouver with it, as it is extremely difficult to get.
About white spelt flour:
White spelt flour has more protein than whole spelt flour and is easy to digest. Spelt is the only true grain that is a complete protein, providing you with all the amino acids needed for your daily requirement. Please check our website under: “WHAT IS SPELT” to know more about that wonder grain.
How to store your flour & how long does it last?
In a sealed container, where no bugs or anything else will enter. Place in a cool and dry place. You can easily keep your flour well stored for 1 year.
How do you store your spelt bread?
After baking your bread, let it cool on a rack and slice it and freeze it to keep it’s freshness. You can keep your bread on the counter or bread box, in a plastic bag for at least 3 days, if you don’t want to freeze it. Never put your bread in the fridge, as it will go stale right away.
