Shipton Mill Flour
Melisa Biscuits, Home Baking & Preserves Buyer
Shipton Mill was founded in 1979 by an adventurous John Lister along with four friends who found an old mill deep in a Cotswold Valley. They set about rebuilding it themselves, using reclaimed machiner y and mill stones, which are still in use to this day.
Since the ver y star t organic has been at the hear t of the Mill. It’s driven by a desire to not only protect the ear th and our environment, but to give back to the ear th and make it a more fer tile place for generations to come. Working closely with a number of UK organic farmers, Shipton Mill are currently examining how they can improve the quality of UK organic wheat for baking and the flours milled from it. These local farms share the belief of producing food in the most sustainable way possible. Their challenge is to provide bakers with high quality, UK grown wheat that will still produce great results, despite the unpredictable climate and without the use of processing aids. Shipton Mill are always finessing and evolving their production techniques, combining craftsmanship and ancient traditions with new slants, milling flours that today’s bakers and innovators enjoy working with and can transform into beautiful products. Finding exciting suppliers who treat the ear th in a regenerative manner is critical, and the final flavours and end products are a result of this. “I was instantly drawn to their care and ethos from the star t. They are innovative in their production techniques and constantly look for ways to develop new organic products based on the crops they grow. I would encourage anyone to give their flour a tr y as the proof really is in the bake” - Melisa.
