A note on Grains

We believe that many of Britian’s most important varieties of grain are being lost for future generations. Old varieties often taste better, contain more nutrients and are more genetically resilient but they just haven’t suited modern farming with all of its artificial chemical inputs. We are growing more of these old varieties and developing our own populations or landraces to suit our farm and its soils. We sell them and their products in our store but do ask if you are interested in learning more about this important subject.

Keeping the milling tradition alive

It’s a sad fact that all but a few of Suffolk’s small mills are now in ruins. So we took things into our own hands. After a lengthy search, we found a small family firm which still makes fine traditional stone mills… in Austria. The rest is just continuing our local history.

Stone mills run at slow speeds so the flour does not overheat and few of the essential nutrients are lost. Our flours are fresh. They contain no preservatives and do not undergo any bleaching processes.
