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.
