Your food from our fields




The milling wheat grown here at Offley Hoo is sold to Hovis who turn it in to bread flour and or bread.






Offley Hoo wheat.

This year Hovis have asked Jon to grow their seed wheat. This will mean a better price for the seed and if all goes well Jon will produce enough A C Barrie [ the variety of wheat] of seed for other farmers to sow on an area the size of Epping Forest.






Home baking with Hovis wheat flour and local flour grown in the Chilterns by a friend of ours Virginia Deradour of Wren Davis Ltd.

Virginia is a great ally and champion of education in the countryside especially for school children. She will be helping us on Open Farm Sunday and selling her flour on the day too.
