Where to buy wheat berries in the Northeast?

I am a new member and this is my first post.  This site seems to have great information and the members seem very knowledgeable and are quick to help.

I didn’t find a more recent post of this subject (2009/2010 posting is what I found) and the one I saw didn’t really help much for the Northeast area.  So I figured I’d post it myself.  I apologize if I missed a more recent post on this subject.

I’m venturing into the world of fresh ground flour to bake bread.  I live in Northern NJ and am finding it hard to find/buy wheat berries within the state (or tri-state even).  I ordered my first batch of hard red and white wheat berries that I’m experimenting with from Amazon (being a Prime member helped the overall price).  I obviously will be interested in buying larger quantities if my experimenting is successful (my first seed culture seems to going OK so far....). 

So here’s the obvious question:

Where do members from the Northeast, that mill their own flour, buy their wheat berries from?  

I’m struggling to find sources that aren’t from the Mid-west and/orPacific Northwestareas to maybe save on shipping charges and get better pricing on bulk purchases.

 

Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.
