An Organic Ethos

The promotion of organic food is set deep within the ethos that drives Shipton Mill. We source grain as locally as possible from certified organic producers.

Using organic flour not only helps to contribute to biodiversity by maintaining varieties of wheat/cereals but also to the general wildlife populations where organic production methods encourage a greater variety and number of species.

A Recognised Standard

In the UK organic producers are certified by the Soil Association, a body recognised world-wide as adhering to the strictest standards. We select only the best parcels of grain to give the fullest flavour and outstanding baking results.
