Wessex Mill is an artisan flour milled in the heart of the beautiful North Wessex Downs. A family-owned brand, its milling history in Wessex goes back more than 100 years. Sourcing grain grown close to the mill to support local farmers and reduce food miles is very important to us. We are proud to use only the best local wheat for all our core bread and culinary flours procured direct from farmers

we know and trust. The grain variety and farmer is printed on our flour bags giving real transparency. Once we receive the grain onto site, we mill it slower and in smaller batches than larger mills, which we believe allows us to deliver fantastic quality flour that performs consistently, again and again. We are delighted to have won numerous Great Taste Awards over the years for a number of our flours. Contact us today to speak to our team of passionate experts to explore how we can help you.

🌱 World Environment Day 🌱

This World Environment Day, we're celebrating the people at the heart of every bag of Wessex Mill flour - our local British farmers.

For generations, we've worked closely with farmers located within 50 miles of our mill, building lasting relationships and supporting British agriculture. By sourcing locally, we know exactly where our grain comes from, helping us maintain the quality, traceability and provenance.

It's a simple approach that not only supports local farming communities but also helps reduce food miles and keeps our connection to the land firmly rooted in the countryside.

Today marks 𝑺𝒕𝒐𝒑 𝑭𝒐𝒐𝒅 𝑾𝒂𝒔𝒕𝒆 𝑫𝒂𝒚 - a gentle reminder that the most meaningful baking begins with valuing every ingredient we bring into our kitchens.

At Wessex Mill, we’re proud to work closely with local farmers across the North Wessex Downs, where every grain is grown with care. So, it only feels right to make the very most of it.

A few simple ways to waste less and bake more:
• Plan your bakes for the week and shop with purpose
• Use up what you already have - that last bit of flour can become something wonderful
• Freeze leftover bakes or dough for another day
• Don’t discard imperfect fruit & veg - they’re perfect for cakes, muffins and crumbles
• Get creative with leftovers - stale bread becomes puddings, crumbs or coatings

Did you know around a third of all food produced globally is wasted each year? This week, why not visit your local farm shop, buy only what you need, and bake something to share?
