Commitment to Sustainability

As a farm and business we are constantly changing to improve the natural world around us.

We grow, harvest, mill, package and post our products to you!

We are conscious of the farm ecosystem and are making a real effort to restore the natural organisms and species who live there, through farming organically and repurposing waste to form a circular economy.

Sustainability Efforts

On the farm

  • Organic farming

  • Growing the grain locally to reduce food miles

  • Keeping our own seed for next years crop

    In the mill

  • Variable speed drives to reduce energy consumption in the mill

  • The waste from the mill is used as cattle bedding and feed, the cattle manure is then used to fertilize the fields before sowing the next years crop.

  • Minimal recyclable packaging
