About Us
Being a plow-to-package grain farm means we work with nature each step of the way.
At Bluebird Grain Farms our goal is to cultivate and mill the most irresistible, nutrient-rich ancient grains we can while leaving this land healthier for the next generation.
In 2004 we started Bluebird Grain Farms as a husband and wife team because we could not find locally grown organic grains in the Pacific Northwest. We started by growing and selecting our own ancient grain seed sock, cultivating and harvesting our grains, and processing them to order, farm-direct to provide you the freshest highest quality grain money can buy. For our family and staff, great taste, real nutrition, and a thriving countryside go hand in hand—you simply don’t get one without the others.
Moving toward the future, Bluebird’s founding principles in soil health, nutrition, and agroecology are expanded beyond the Methow Valley as we partner with like-minded “tried and true” organic grain farmers who share our founding principles of growing food for soil health and optimal nutrition. As we build regional farmer partnerships and expand our network of certified organic growers our commitment to the land and our customers only gets stronger.
Living soil best propagates life.
Bluebirds appear in the Methow Valley during spring, when it’s time to plant our crops.
They stay here for the growing season, and take off around harvest time. For us, bluebirds are a reminder that every single thing we do as farmers is connected to—and impacts—the environment at large. We believe that nutritious food produced from nature is the cornerstone of a healthy community. And we take pride in making great food available to our friends, our neighbors, and you.
Brooke and Sam Lucy met while walking their dogs on a Methow Valley road years ago, within sight of the scenic spot where the Bluebird granary stands today. Bluebird is a family business that was started in 2005.
Brooke and Sam saw a niche for growing and processing ancient grains. Now, Emmer and Einkorn have become their signature grains and Brooke and Sam have set the gold standard for nutrient-dense whole grains, freshly milled flour, and dry product blends.
Sam does most of the farming and oversees the granary and mill. Brooke manages PR, sales and packaging. Our small and wonderful staff, C.J., Tiffany, Konrad and Steve do all the rest!

Practices
100% Certified Organic
Living Soil Best Propagates Life
By keeping our fields nutritionally balanced and teeming with beneficial microbes, we reap highly nutritious grains. That means feeding, resting, and otherwise caring for each and every inch of earth naturally, without compromise.
Planting and harvest
Our grains are grown in rich soils sweetened with additional organic amendments right here in the northwestern United States. We use cover crops to build organic matter and protect our soil from erosion. Our tillage and planting are timed for optimum seed germination and natural weed control. And after harvest, we incorporate our grain-straw back into the soil that it came from.
Wooden granaries
We condition our grains in custom-built, old-world wooden granaries like our ancestors did before us. Any moisture in our grain is absorbed by their wood; that’s why mold and rot—and using chemicals to control them—are never an issue at Bluebird.
Milled to order
Our grains are cleaned and milled to order each week in small batches so you get the freshest product available. It’s a difference you’ll taste in every bite of the pastas, breads, sweets and other foods you make with Bluebird Grain Farm products.
