Holgate Windmill, York’s last surviving windmill and the oldest 5-sailed windmill in the country is now fully restored and producing traditional stone-ground flour.
Our Windmill is currently closed for visits because of Covid-19 but the mill shop is still open for flour sales every Saturday morning between 10 and 12. We are also take orders each week for 5kg bags of flour (wheat £7.50 and spelt £11.00). If you are interested please send your request through the general contact form on the website with your name, contact number, order details and preferred Saturday date for collection. Orders should be sent by Thursday evening each week to be ready for collection on Saturday morning.
What is Facebook saying? :
Why not bake a loaf to support Real Bread Week which is this week? Holgate Windmill wholemeal flour makes a great loaf by using either 100% wholemeal flour or for a lighter loaf use 50% wholemeal and 50% white flour. Another really tasty bread is a seeded bread using 50% spelt and 50% rye. You can buy our flour from our shop which is open every Saturday between 10 and 12 or from a number of local shops, as shown on our website. If you do bake something using our flour please post a photo on social media. #holgatewindmill #Holgate #RealBreadWeek #readbread #readbreadcampaign #homebaking #homemadebread #homemadebread🍞 #wholemealbread #wholemealflour #spelt #SpeltFlour #WeAreRealBread
