Little Salkeld WatermillPenrith, Cumbria

Stoneground Organic and Biodynamic Flours

A fully operational 18^th century watermill, we’re specialist traditional millers of organic and biodynamic stoneground flours and cereals, and described as “one of the best mills in the country” (Sheila Dillon on Food Programme Spring 2009).

We use the clean self-renewing power of water from the Cumbrian Pennines to power two waterwheels, significantly reducing our carbon footprint.Unlike roller milled flour, traditional stoneground flour is slow milled using horizontal millstones, retaining the full flavour and nutritional value of the wheatgerm.  

All our products are organic, and we’re one of the few mills in the UK offering a range of Demeter quality biodynamic standard stoneground flours.

Unlike most flour, blended from domestic and foreign wheat, we specialise in home grown grains - for flavour, value, and lower food miles.
