The last
working water mill in Suffolk!
For almost
a thousand years millers on this site have been using the simple
technology of water power to produce stone-ground wholemeal
flour from locally grown wheat.
Now owned
by the Suffolk Building Preservation Trust, a team of dedicated
volunteers continues the tradition. |
|
PAKENHAM WATER MILL WHOLEMEAL FLOUR
We mill traditional stone-ground wholemeal
flour from locally grown wheat.
It is strong bread flour, excellent for use in bread makers or
hand methods.
It is high in protein and finely milled and therefore light to
use.
Our flour contains all the natural goodness of the whole wheat
grain
without any additives.
