Flour Power: wholemeal from organic grain


"Separating The Wheat From The Chaff"

The millstones at Crabble are the finest french burr quartz, quarried from the Champagne region of France. There are five sets of stones which, in the 19th century was an enormous capacity, and all powered just by the slow turning of the large waterwheel. We have restored three pairs for potential operation, but usually just use the one set. We still mill to produce flour by using waterpower. Our organic wheat is a mixture to produce a high quality stoneground wholemeal flour available in various sizes:

1.5 kg & 500g bags handy for domestic use
32 kg & 16 kg sacks mainly for commercial bakers

Our range of flour and bread mixes are:
  • Strong White Flour
  • Stoneground Wholemeal
  • Light Brown Flour
  • Dark Brown Flour
  • Sunflower Seed Bread Mix
  • Organic Mixed Seed Bread Mix
Crabble Mill has always been proud to manufacture a premium Kentish product as you see from this label, "1st Prize Loaf made from Mannerings Gold Medal Meal, at The Confectioners Bakers & Allied Trades Exhibition, London."

Another label "Pure Bread - The millers W & E Mannering guarantee that the flour supplied for this bread is free from chemical or gas treatment and is the pure product of the wheat berry."

If you'd like to try baking some of the Crabble recipes, or would like current prices of flour just ask.
