Sourdough September Supplier Spotlight 💡(say that fast five times)
Yorkshire Organic Millers
Based at Hill Top Farm within the North York Moors National Park, the farm has just 100 acres of land. Today it produces organic lamb and around 20 acres of cereals - milling-wheat and rye - grown intermittently since 1975.
In 2005, they started to mill their own organically grown wheat. Phil (the miller) uses granite stone mills, which are over 1 metre in diameter!
Stonemilling keeps more of the germ and the inner layers of the grain, which produces a more nutritious flavour. However - it's a very slow process! One millstone can mill 25kg of flour per hour.
By milling local produce it minimises food miles, reduce transport costs, and create a sustainable grain alliance within one community. The enterprise is entirely organic.
Phil's philosophy is "good bread should always be at the centre of community life". His goal is to mill locally organic grains for local people, and would love to see every community have their own mill.
Leeds Bread Co-op starting using YOM flour in their infancy, it goes into our Yorkshire Wholemeal (no surprises) White Sourdough & Miche.
They don’t call it God’s Own Country for nowt & it’s inbreadible to be a part of.
Real bread, ethically made.
