What It Is
You grind whole grains like wheat, spelt and rye into fresh flour with a countertop mill and sell small bags at markets, or bake with it and sell fresh-milled sourdough, muffins and pancake mixes at a premium.
The Pitch
Business Cortex calls fresh-milled flour one of the fastest-growing home baking trends, says sourdough bakers are obsessed with it, and puts home mills at about $240, or $380 for stone mills.
Who It’s Best For
Keen bakers who already make good bread and enjoy markets.
The Truth (as we see it)
The trend claim isn't backed with figures. Food made at home for sale falls under cottage-food rules that vary by state, and selling to shops or restaurants often needs a licensed kitchen. Market selling takes weekend time and travel, and fresh flour has a short shelf life.
