Shipton Mill Flour: The Good Stuff

Shipton Mill are known for being the home of regenerative organic flour and they take flour seriously in the way we take cake seriously. These folks care about where the flour comes from, how it's being  milled and show a real commitment to better farming.

This matters because flour isn’t just white powder that makes cake happen. Flour carries flavour. It affects texture. It changes the way a bake behaves in the oven.

And when you’re making cakes every day (and we really mean every day), consistency is everything.

Shipton Mill helps us achieve beautiful, reliable structure but also helps to give us the flavour that can only be found in organic, unbleached flour.

Using less processed flour that aligns with our ethics, not just our recipes.

Why It Fits Our Values 

Farmers and millers matter. Soil matters. How food is grown matters.

We’re not interested in ingredient sourcing that’s all shortcuts and shrinkflation. We choose suppliers who align with how we want to bake and how we want to exist as a business.

Shipton Mill fits because they’re focused on:

• regenerative organic practices
• traceability
• quality-first ingredient selection
• doing things properly, not cheaply

It’s the same reason we’re palm-oil free and big on sustainability. We know cake isn't exactly healthy but we can certainly make it better but offering more nutrients and protein.
