Castleford Stoneground Wholewheat Flour 1.5kg bag: £2.50
Flour production started again at Queen’s Mill following an initiative led by Trust volunteer Rod Rayner. The flour we produce comes from wheat grown in the fields around Selby using traditional stoneground methods. Unlike mordern milling nothing is added and nothing is taken away from the wheat. This gives us a unique flour which is ideal for bread and pastries.
Our flour is readily available from these outlets in both 0.5kg and 1.5kg bags. If you are a professional baker we can supply flour in 15kg tubs.
