African Purple Whole Wheat flour
African Purple wheat was a staple food in north Africa thousands of years ago. Copper Horse Farm has been developing this wheat variety for over a decade and we grown African Purple wheat at our development farm in Lancaster County, PA. This wheat flour is being re-introduced to the market in the fall of 2023 by Copper Horse Farm.
