Organic True South West White Flour.
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.
