In Canada a chain called Bulk Barn sells tons of this sort of stuff. They have about a dozen different varieties of oats that I am currently making my way through.

Can I use a common blender to grind the wheat berry's?

I get my flour etc from them, but I never found any wheat or rye berries there. They don't even have cracked rye by itself (for German black bread) but neither does the health food store next-door.

I make all of my own bread, most of which is whole grain. Some loaves have oatmeal, whole wheat flour, and/or 7 grain cereal cooked into it. My favorites are a multigrain bread with sunflower seeds and pepitas that makes two 9" loaves. I also do a no-knead bread with cranberries and walnuts. King Arthur Flour's website has a load of yeast bread recipes. Once you start making your own, it is hard to go back to store bought. It all tastes so bad now (including Ezekial, which I used to LOVE). I try to make a lot if I am home on a weekend and freeze the loaves for future use.

This is the multigrain loaf I make (Cook's Illustrated Recipe):

Cranberry walnut bread (I use all cranberries, no raisins. Personal preference):

I also started making burger buns recently. Bread making is addicting. :bigsmile:

If you have a really good food processor it might work...you could try using the blender, but i'm not sure everything would come out inform and "flour-y"...i've heard of people using coffee grinders to make small amounts of flour at a time, if you have one of those...
