Online Store FAQs

If you have any questions that aren’t answered below, please email [email protected]. We’re here to help!

Why is shipping so expensive?

Freight pricing is determined primarily by weight and, to some extent, volume. Unfortunately, our products are heavy which means they are expensive to ship. That being said, we pass our discounted company rates directly through to our customers with zero mark-up.

Are there any Grocery stores in my area that carry your flour so that I don’t have to pay for shipping?

This is possible but we cannot be 100% sure. Distribution networks are pretty complicated and we are not privy to the customer lists of the distribution companies we sell products to. That being said, we hear the organic all-purpose flour at Costco as well as the organic all-purpose and whole wheat flours at Whole Foods and Safeway are truly exceptional (wink wink).

Can I pick up my online order?

Yes! If you live near our distribution center in Petaluma, CA you should see a pick-up option during checkout.

Kindly note: Same-day pick-ups are NOT available. Once your order is ready for pick-up, you will receive an email notification letting you know your order has finished processing.

Once you’ve been notified your order is ready, you can stop by any time between 8am and 5pm, Monday through Friday to pick up your order.

Why doesn’t a pick-up option show up for me?

The pick-up option is zip code based. If you live within 100 miles of  Petaluma and you enter your zip code in the billing details, it should appear as a shipping option. If you live further away and want to make a trip out of it, feel free to check the “ship to different address” button on the checkout page and use our address (1120 Holm Rd, Petaluma, CA 94954).

Do you ship to other countries?

We can. Unfortunately, the cost is typically prohibitive. That being said, we’ve been known to ship to Canada and Mexico when the order is large enough (typically a 1-palette minimum) and customers are willing to handle the international shipping paperwork. If you’re interested, please give us a call at (707) 778-1073.

Whoops, I made a mistake on my order! What do I do?

Shoot us an email at [email protected] or give us a call at (707) 778-1073 as soon as possible and we’ll take care of you!
