HANDS ON!

We run a hands on business, helming all that we do from within. And at the hub of all boundary pushing bakeries is a production manager, the navigator of the dough, from what’s made to where it’s heading. Many loaves head to professional food services, a stack hign of loaves head to the bread stores, and all navigated by this incredible man. Our Dean Fletcher, the double act with Aidan Monks. Book ends! With

OUR UNFORTIFIED FLOUR

Our unfortified flour is milled in its natural state, with nothing added after the milling process. At Lovingly Artisan, we preserve the grain’s natural character, allowing it to retail many of its inherent nutrients, including vitamins, minerals and where possible much of the wheat germ.

Stone milling helps maintain the integrity of the whole grain, producing flour rich in flavour, fibre, and naturally occurring nutrients. Our focus is on creating wholesome, nutrient dense flour that reflects the quality of the grain itself.

As a small mill, traditional mill, we are exempt from the mandatory fortification requirements that apply to most larger scale roller mills. While many commercial flours have nutrients such as thiamine ( vitamin B1), niacin, calcium, and iron added back after processing, our flour remains unfortified, preserving the grains in a form that is closer to nature.

A GREAT FEW DAYS IN ALTY - the highlight of the week was visiting the Bushell’s a chance to start a journey. A journey of growing, a journey of learning what’s important to Karen and James. Every stride we make is about togetherness, being united in our vision to produce the most nutritious and at the centre of every recipe is the grain. No pesticides, no fertilisers, no chemicals just rich nutrients dense soil. Grateful to and and the team for joking us on this adventure with .markettraders s

EINKORN - Why is it easier to digest?
It’s missing the chromosome D which means it’s far more easily digestible.
Einkorn has anti inflammatory characteristics, if you suffer from bloating, tummy ache after over processed bread this humble loaf Einkorn is your healer and structure very differently than conventional wheat. Einkorn is packed with far more vitamins and minerals, essential fibre over 80% of people don’t eat enough fibre, they actively avoid fibre which can lead to fatigue and lower immunity. You need fibre to function healthily, we all need to actively eat good wholesome grains.

RHUBARB & CUSTARD

Flaky light Cruffins made with our gently milled rustic white flour, the flavours are rewardingly sensational. They’re something rather nostalgic about rhubarb & custard cruffins captured at made with Lovingly Artisan stone milled flour ❤️
