Grains

Oats

Our oats are whole oat groats from the north of the UK that have had the husk removed but have not flaked or milled the grains which exposes them to the air. They are not sproutable. We offer them as standard and premium. The premium oats have been grown with an increased sensitivity to the environment.

Spelt

Spelt is an ancient grain mentioned in the Bible as a separate grain from wheat. Although it is related to wheat, it has become popular again because so many people that are wheat intolerant have found that they can eat spelt. Our spelt is mainly sourced from Cambridgeshire here in the UK. Our spelt has been grown with an increased sensitivity to the environment.

Yellow Maize

Yellow maize (called corn in the USA) is generally not grown in the UK because the season is too short for it to mature in the field. Our Suffolk farm starts the season early by protecting the tender shoots until the weather is warmer. Corn is naturally gluten free and the mills we sell can mill them (many home mills cannot mill yellow maize). The store bought corn flour here in the UK does not make good corn bread. It is too dry and fine. Our yellow maize is cleaned to the highest standard you can find in the UK.

Naked Oats

Our naked oats are completely raw and sproutable. Naked oats are a different variety with more natural oils and nutrients. They were grown by Sproxton Hall Farm near Helmsley in the North Yorkshire Moors. They do have just a little husk in them as they are straight from the farm although they have been cleaned to the highest seed quality.

Wheat

Our standard wheat is a special milling variety provided by Sproxton Hall Farm in North Yorkshire. It is an older variety that is hard to find but produces the best bread of any we can find in the UK. It is cleaned to the highest standard you can find in the UK. We also provide a premium wheat of a different variety that has been grown with an increased sensitivity to the environment.

Rye

Our standard wheat is a special milling variety provided by Sproxton Hall Farm in North Yorkshire. It is an older variety that is hard to find but produces the best bread of any we can find in the UK. It is cleaned to the highest standard you can find in the UK. We also provide a premium wheat of a different variety that has been grown with an increased sensitivity to the environment.
