Flour milled from the starchy center of a wheat kernel, excluding the germ and bran, that is enriched with thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, folic acid, and iron replacing the nutrients and vitamins lost in the milling process. This is the foundation of raised wheat bread.
Provides the majority of the starches, proteins, and essential nutrients for the formation of the dough, which is the foundation of leavened bread. It produces a softer, lighter crumb with a sweeter flavor than whole wheat flour, but has less fiber.

After the Great Depression, US federal agencies conducted nutritional surveys. The results revealed nutrient deficiencies throughout the population. In 1941 the federal government launched a voluntary flour and bread enrichment program. By 1943 enrichment of bread products was required! Although the measure was lifted in 1948 enriched four is still widely used in many products for the same nutritional benefits.

Organic farming is better for the environment. Organic farming practices reduce pollution, conserve water, reduce soil erosion, increase soil fertility, and use less energy. Farming without pesticides is also better for nearby birds and animals as well as people who live close to farms.

GloryBee is more than just a honey and ingredients company. First off and foremost, it is a company of beekeepers who are not only passionate about supplying 100% pure honey, but who are also dedicated to taking care of bees.
Founded in Eugene, Oregon in 1975 by third generation beekeeper, Dick Turanski, beekeeping is at our roots. More than 40 years later, this still remains true. Alan Turanski, current President of GloryBee and son of Dick, is himself a beekeeper and has learned first-hand not only how fascinating and beautiful honeybees are but also how vital they are to our food supply and the overall health of our planet. RaeJean Wilson, Senior Vice President and daughter of Dick, became a honey enthusiast at a very early age as a result of growing up in a beekeeping family. Her appreciation only increased over time and led to a passion for helping protect the future of our honeybees.
Fun Fact:
The relationship between United States Bakery and GloryBee goes way back. As a matter of fact, United States Bakery was GloryBee’s first large manufacturing customer! It all began in 1975, when Dick Turanski, the first-generation owner of GloryBee, was selling 60 pound pails of honey to small local bakeries in the Eugene and Springfield area. Dick and his wife Pat loved to eat honey wheat bread from these small, local bakeries. This sparked an idea – why not partner with United States Bakery to create a honey wheat bread?! The rest you can say is history!
In 2012, GloryBee launched SAVE THE BEE®, a social responsibility program that directly supports organizations dedicated to saving honeybees. To learn more about SAVE THE BEE® and how you can help, we invite you to watch this video.

Meet the Schanz Family, one of our partners from Billings, Montana. Jeff's family has been farming for 4 generations since 1913.
With approximately 1,500 acres and an additional 500 acres used for winter grazing, the farm primarily goes winter wheat. Jeff is a graduate of Montana State and has a degree in engineering. The Schanz Farm focuses on quality, education and sustainability through no-till farming. They have been practicing no-till farming for over 25 years which greatly enhances soil while reducing erosion. No-till farming is a technique that increases the amount of water into the soil as well as retention, which results in a greater cycling of the nutrients in the soil.
For Jeff, the goal is to use the land as efficiently as possible while growing high quality crops in partnership with Grain Craft.

Meet the Myers Family!
Jason Myers joined his grandfather and uncle in managing the family farm about two years ago, growing a variety of crops ranging from winter wheat, spring wheat and chickpeas. His time working outside of farming prepared him for embracing more of the “outside-the-box†thinking being applied to farming in an effort to implement practices that reduce impact on the land.
“There is a lot more strategy that goes into farming today,†said Jason, when asked about technology advances. “Better knowledge of fertilizer, improved management techniques, more wheat varieties and planting options are available, including new crops such as chickpeas.†The increase in farming pulses such as lentils and chickpeas reflect how farmers are reacting and adjusting to market preferences, along with consumer desire to better understand how their food is grown and the broader farm-to-table movement.
Jason continued, “I think it’s great that people want to know more about the origins of their food. They might even learn how much effort goes into that product on the shelf, the risks farmers encounter every growing season and how many people each farmer feeds.†The Myers family is hard at work feeding the world, while applying land-management strategies and testing new technologies in the pursuit of sustainable agriculture. It’s a big job, and through ADM Grower Connect, they hope to better connect consumers to their food and increase awareness of the challenges facing modern farmers.
