I have friends who own a local "natural" bakery.

They buy their wheat locally from farmers they know & trust, soak it and then grind it into flour themselves. All of the products they use (except certain spices like cinnamon!) are locally sourced. They use wheat higher in protein than usual too.

They had an interesting statement on their FB page. They said that the human stomach isn't designed to easily digest wheat products - which is why they do a special soak so their products are better able to be digested.
