Mark Moody purchased acreage near Bouse, Arizona to start a small farm and nursery. During the early years of the farm he unearthed several manos and mutates (stones used by Native Americans to grind corn and mesquite pods) buried at his farm. This discovery planted the seed for the idea that would become the Arizona Mesquite Company.

Mesquite grows natively in the Arizona wilderness. Arizona Mesquite Company is blazing new territory by treating the tree as a sustainable crop at their farm. Due to its low water usage, ability to produce flour, high quality honey (with help from bees), high quality woodworking lumber, and firewood this is truly an incredible tree.

Milling the pods from the Mesquite tree makes Mesquite Flour. Since the whole pods, including the beans are milled, the flour is high in protein content (11 to 17%). It isn’t wheat based allowing it to be gluten-free. However, the most desirable trait is its taste. Mesquite Flour has a very distinct sweet nutty taste, which has uses in baking, seasoning, or just adding to drinks for that extra wow!
