Thanks.

I paid a little more ($11.99) but had to have it shipped. I'll have to look harder to see if I can find it locally.

My wife said a 2 lb box of Hungry Jack is $2.88. I ask my granddaughter if New Hope Mills was four times better than the Hungry Jack. She said it is so that settles it I guess.

My Grandmother made them almost everyday. She kept a crock of starter going like sourdough but with buckwheat flour. Her pancakes didn't look or taste like the mix's today. I sure miss them.
Back in the family home area of West Virginia they hold a Buckwheat festival every year.

In your scrapple or your panckaes? Or both?

Lug, sometimes TOPS has it here, and there is a Mennonite country store that carries it.

This is a bit cheaper but still pricey.

Pancakes

Thanks Yote, that's about the best price I've seen online so far.

You're welcome. They sure do have a lot of different flavors!

It looks like the New Hope Mills plant (Auburn, NY) is about two hours southwest of you and about three hours northeast of my camp. I'll have to check around when I'm up there in a couple of weeks to see if anybody local stocks it.

I worked for a maple sugar bush a long time ago.
It was the biggest little sugar bush in the area.
Everything was locally produced.
No additives , except baking soda and baking powder, the buckwheat pancakes had an almost blue gray color to them.
Local mill used to grind the flour.
People would come for the pancakes and Sauage with that fresh maple syrup from across the state.
They would buy bags of the buckwheat pancake mix and the syrup by the gallon.
My dad used to buy it all the time, mix it , then let it sour for a few days.
Now those were very good pancakes.
The Chatham VFW started the pancake dinners when the Old Sugarbush closed for good.
They make buttermilk pancakes and use link Sauage instead of the Sauage patties.
Nothing like the original Sugarbush meal.
But still good.
Kind of like no one cooks as good as grandma or mom.

The ones we get from Sturdi Wheat have the blue grey color to them, awesome with some berries mixed in.

Buckwheat once was really common here in central Pa. It would grow well in poor thin soil. A hundred years ago, all the small feed mills were grinding it for flour. I seldom see a stand of buckwheat nowadays, back in the 1970’s, the strip mines were planting it on newly reclaimed jobs. Can’t miss it….bright white blossoms. I think honeybees can make more honey per acre off of buckwheat than anything else out there. I moved a few hives into buckwheat one year, filled three shallow supers on each hive. But I didn’t care for the honey….real dark, thick, almost a liquorish flavor.

YT, thanks , Laurie just ordered 5lbs. All this pancake talk we gotta have some for supper.

My Grandma also kept starter.
She owned a mill at one time.
Home made syrup.
Could not drink milk with the bw cakes.
I can not get there from here.
Deer camp traditions long gone.
