Shipton Mill

The Mill

Set in a beautiful Cotswold valley near Tetbury, the mill at Shipton Moyne Wood has been producing flour since the time of the Domesday Book. Today it produces a wide variety of Speciality Flours, using both traditional grain and traditional methods.

Our Flour

We mill a range of organic flour of exceptional quality, without haste and with scrupulous care, using only the best ingredients.

Whether you're after bread flour or cake flour, wholemeal or white, rye or spelt; whether you want it organic or stoneground, or are looking for something a bit special, we have a flour to fit the bill.

The grain ground at Shipton Mill provides organic and wholemeal flours that are unsurpassed in texture and flavour and have built a well-earned reputation amongst Master Bakers all over the country.

As with all the best things in life, they can often be in shorter supply than the more easily produced or in our case more easily farmed. We use many traditional grains that have not been over hybridised or enhanced, so the quality of the grain and its suitability for more traditional uses is un-surpassed.

To produce the our Classic untreated organic white and organic wholemeal flours we use a rare variety of wheat called Maris Widgeon. Traditionally grown for thatching, it is well suited to the organic system of sustainable farming. For every acre, Maris Widgeon yields almost half the amount of wheat of the new modern varieties, but its quality and flavour are so excellent we believe it is worth paying a premium to farmers to encourage them to continue to grow this ancient variety.
