Project Overview
Worn Pasture, Fresh Loaves
The west blocks came to us in 2019 with organic matter under 2% and crusting after each shower. Six seasons on, the same acres yield prize heritage grain, stone-milled ten miles away.
- Challenge: compacted, low-carbon soil with blackgrass pressure.
- Approach: two years of herbal leys, compost at 20 t/ha, then shallow non-inversion tillage.
- Outcome: reliable heritage grain supplying three bakeries and our own flour line.
Flour from This Very Harvest
Our Heritage Wheat Flour is ground weekly from these fields. Related service: Organic Produce Supply.
