Otterton Mill, Making Flour Since 1068

I bake almost all of our bread; some by hand, some by using our bread machine.  Today is a bread machine day.  I can load it and leave it and in about four hours you have hot, great smelling bread!   Good stuff!


All this bread baking requires flour...LOTS of flour.   Let's take a trip to Otterton Mill and buy some flour.


There has been a working watermill in Otterton at least since  Norman times.  The earliest record of a mill at Otterton dates to the Doomsday Book in 1068.


Today, Otterton Mill grinds local, organic grains into flour just as it did all those centuries ago.  You can take a bread baking course, have a meal or a cup of tea and a slice of cake in their cafe, visit the shop full of art, crafts and gifts, purchase Otterton bread and other local foods and take a walk along the river which turns the ancient water wheel.  

Oh.... you can also buy FLOUR!
