How we evaluated it
Why we chose it What put it on our list
- The USDA Organic Integrity Database lists Bluebird Grain Farms LLC (NOP ID 2780001061) as certified by the Washington State Department of Agriculture since 2002, with 30 certified acres. Its crops include einkorn, and its handling scope lists Einka einkorn flour and Einkorn Berries.
- The grain is named and the whole grain is stated: the page says Einka is Bluebird’s name for whole grain einkorn, “100% whole grain (never pearled)”, with the germ and bran not removed.
- It is US-grown and milled to order. Bluebird’s own pages say it mills small batches weekly at its facility in Winthrop, Washington, without sifting, and that most of its einkorn is grown by Lenwood Farms in Connell, Washington. It notes that most einkorn is imported from Canada and Italy.
- Prices are published for three sizes: $11.83 for 2 lb, $20.47 for 4 lb and $89.59 for 20 lb, which is $5.92, $5.12 and $4.48 a pound.
Trade-offs What to weigh before you buy
- Einkorn is wheat. It contains gluten, and Bluebird’s page says it is not suitable for people with celiac disease. The page also claims a glycemic index of 0 and easier digestion, with no source, and we do not repeat those claims.
- No residue test is published. Bluebird says no glyphosate is used in production or processing, and its pages describe no heavy-metal or mold-toxin testing (it says mold toxins are outside its expertise and that it stores grain below 10 percent moisture). It is not on The Detox Project’s residue-free list.
- The product page says the flour is fresh milled, and the farm page says it is milled to order each week, but neither gives a milling date or shelf life. The einkorn variety is not named.
- At 2 lb it costs about $5.92 a pound, the highest price per pound of the einkorn flours we list.
What to know Details worth knowing first
Bluebird Grain Farms mills einkorn to order at its facility in Winthrop, Washington. It sells the grain under the name Einka, as a whole-grain flour that has not been pearled or sifted. Bluebird says most einkorn products are imported from Canada and Italy, so a US-grown, farm-milled flour stands out. It also says most of its einkorn is grown by a partner farm in Connell, Washington. The USDA Organic Integrity Database confirms its organic certification and lists einkorn as one of its crops.
Two gaps keep the score at 4. Bluebird publishes no residue tests: it says it uses no glyphosate, which is a claim, not a result (see what glyphosate is for why we ask). And the page gives no milling date, which matters because whole-grain flour goes stale.
Einkorn is wheat. It contains gluten and is not safe with celiac disease (see celiac disease). Our farro article compares einkorn with emmer and other ancient wheats, and organic versus conventional explains what the organic label does and does not cover.
Quality & testing How it measures up against our checklist
| What we checked | What we found |
|---|---|
| Organic or residue-tested Verified | USDA Organic, confirmed in the Integrity Database (WSDA, certified since 2002, profile updated 2026-10-21). No residue or glyphosate test is published. |
| The grain named Maker’s claim | Einkorn, sold under the name Einka. The botanical name and variety are not stated on the page. |
| Whole grain, stated Maker’s claim | The page says 100% whole grain, never pearled, with germ and bran not removed. The farm page adds that the flour is not sifted. |
| A mill or pack date Not verified | Described as fresh milled and milled to order (weekly, in small batches, per the farm page), with no date and no shelf life given. |
| Where it is grown and milled Maker’s claim | Bluebird’s farming-partners page says most of its einkorn is grown by Lenwood Farms in Connell, Washington, and its farm page says the flour is milled to order at its own USDA organic facility in Winthrop (19611 Highway 20). The Integrity Database lists einkorn as a crop on Bluebird’s own 30 certified acres, but it does not cover the partner farms. |
| Gluten Maker’s claim | The page says the flour contains gluten and is not suitable for people with celiac disease. |
