Organic True South West White Flour
Organic True South West White Flour
We are proud to now being able to offering the True South West Flour brought to you through the South West Grain Network. This flour contains 100% grain grown within the South West of England and is fully Organic.
The Grain is a population wheat with a blend of Marigertoba and YQ and also a non-commodity wheat meaning we are paying the farmers what their grain is actually worth rather than the price being determined by the global market. This does bring a higher cost per KG to the flour however in this ever-changing climate this is what is needed to support our farmers. It also means we can visit each farm and grow relationships between farmer, miller and baker so all businesses can be supported and ensure a healthy economy.
Being a population wheat, this does mean that it is a mix of many different varieties of wheat increasing crop biodiversity and making a more resilient crop which for Organic growing is one of the main struggles due to not adding additional inputs to the soil. The hope is that there will always be some usable grain for the farmer even in a bad year and as we continue to use the grain it should develop and evolve to our climate over time.
This is a strong flour and will be good for bread making and offering a great flavour to back it up. As are all our flours, this has been stoneground on horizontal millstones.

Benefits of Stoneground Flour
The slow, cool grinding process used to make stoneground flour helps to preserve the natural oils and flavours of the grain. This results in a flour that has a richer, nuttier taste compared to commercial roller milled flour.
Stoneground flour typically contains more fibre compared to commercially milled flour. Fibre is important for digestive health, as it helps to promote regular bowel movements and can aid in weight management.
Why Choose Organic
Organic flour is less likely to contain harmful residues from pesticides and herbicides. Organic flour is not only beneficial for your health but also for the environment. Organic farming practices promote soil fertility and biodiversity, which helps to maintain healthy ecosystems. By avoiding the use of synthetic chemicals, organic farming reduces water pollution, soil erosion, and the release of greenhouse gases.
By choosing organic flour, you are not only prioritizing your health but also supporting sustainable agriculture and protecting the environment.
Growing Relationships
We pride ourselves on building relationships with both our suppliers and our customers, making sure that we are buying sustainable quality produce and working with farmers for the years to come.
We are always listening to our bakers feedback and working with them to use more locally grown grain and rely less on the imported grains. There is still work to be done but the future looks bright!
