Andrew Gilhespy was inspired to create the Fresh Flour Company and our delicious range of pastas, noodles, crackers and biscuits, after attending Schumacher College and being mentored by some of the UK’s most visionary artisan millers and bakers.

Our philosophy is very simple. We only use English heritage and ancient wheats. We work in partnership with organic farmers. We pay them fairly and realistically. We mill the grains they grow into flour on our premises. We make all of our own products. We only use other ethically sourced, natural ingredients.

The result is an amazing range of foods that you will find a joy to explore.
Be prepared to be inspired and to have your taste buds reawakened.

Hand-made Pasta and Noodles

All our award winning pasta’s are milled and made by us in Devon, using stone ground UK wheat and filtered Dartmoor water. Mixed together in our pasta machines, it is shaped and cut using bronze dies. The result is a food that is both traditional and yet cutting-edge contemporary and with a remarkable taste.

Sourdough crackers

Our award winning crackers are made with the same Fresh Flours; ancient and interesting, mixed with the finest of other ingredients - Our own crafted sourdough starter, Kadode Kampot Peppers including the acclaimed Fermented Green Kampot Pepper that won the Golden Fork at the UK taste awards 2019, Local Totnes Honey, Locally Grown Organic Mushroom Mix, Premium Scottish Seaweed blend, Greek Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Sea Salt & Organic Malt barley.

Sourdough Digestives

We think they are the best digestives there have ever been…
Our award winning biscuits are made with our milled flours - Ancient, heritage and interesting wheats, mixed with our milled Emmer and Rye - a large serving of sourdough mother, unrefined granulated sugar, Riverford Organic butter, Sea Salt, baking powder. They taste like biscuits should do….

Flours and Grains

We sell our flours in 25kg sacks, but are happy to supply smaller bags and 1kg samples.

Emmer
Emmer wheat is an ancient cultivated grain. Its older than Spelt and has complex tastes and higher nutritional qualities than most modern wheats. It also makes fantastic pasta. We grew our 2021 harvest, on the Dartington Estate. More . . .
