Making rhe wheat system and farming work …

26/10/2026

Sometimes the ups and the downs are very close together last Thursday I was at the BBC food and farming awards as one of three finalists in the producers category amazing right out of hundreds of people chosen to be there, then Friday some bills came in that should be aware of of course Invoices slow making slow because I was in Belfast all of a sudden boom struggle stress tears gut wrenching fear, but we can help each other through this that’s why I’ve made this system so people can just buy the products that’s helping us ask your Deli ask your Farmer shop ask your Farmer tell you people about us.

We didn’t win. And I’m still smiling.

The BBC Food & Farming Awards went to Belfast this week, and a little worker-owned mill from Buckfastleigh stood as one of the final three Best Food Producers in the UK — out of 700–800 entries in our category alone. A council estate kid, in Titanic Belfast, at the Oscars of the food industry. I’ll be honest: I wanted the trophy. You don’t haul yourself to Belfast not wanting it. But the top spot went to Jake at Jake Sayles on Skye, for hogget the judges couldn’t stop talking about — congratulations, Jake. Properly deserved.

And here’s a thought: our category’s final three were fettuccine, hogget and rapeseed. That’s not a shortlist. That’s a recipe.

None of this happens alone. It’s Peter, Jo and Gill in the mill. It’s Will Tooby’s grain in every pack the judges tasted. It’s Helen and Amelia, who ate the terrible pasta at the beginning (it’s really good now). And it’s you lot, who buy it, share it, and keep a mill turning in a small Devon town.

The whole Belfast story is on BBC Radio 4’s The Food Programme TOMORROW at 11am. Put the kettle on, dunk a digestive, have a listen.

One of three. That exists forever. And the revolution is still just a mill in every town.

Hi Andrew,

I’ve been meaning to respond to this since I read it, but only got around to it now.
Duncan and I are thrilled with you all being finalists. I’ve listened to all the entries and will be very surprised if you don’t win. You stand out as offering an exceptionally high standard of product with innovation and collaboration. The whole ethos of the company is admirable.
You are definitely winners in our eyes, and hearts whatever, the result.
As always we’re enjoying our years supply of pasta. The fusilli is delicious, filling, healthy and supporting British farmers. Win win! I think the pieces are slightly bigger and perhaps a different flour but just as enjoyable.
The new website is an improvement and we hope the media coverage gives you a manageable increase in sales.
Please don’t think you need to respond to this. It’s intended to be encouraging feed back that’s all. You have enough to do with the business and your family.
Take good care of yourself with any extra work!
See you next Autumn,
Elizabeth & Duncan

I’d like to thank the BBC for scouring the UK for the best food producers. When Paula Macintyre came to the mill in South Devon, she put her arm round me and said, “I feel like I’m at the start of a revolution.” And she’s right. At the mill, we take local organic grain, mill it into flour, and from that flour make everyday food. The vision is to take that into every community in the UK. Link the farmer, the miller, the maker, the baker, and the consumer. The system shouldn’t own us. We should own the system. The revolution can be heard and seen in the mill, tasted in the pasta.

Real hand made pasta. Organic. Wheat stone ground - nothing added - and Dartmoor water.

Why is pasta seen as a store cupboard product in the UK? We don’t see it like that. We see it as a seasonal heart of the plate, as Alice Waters does in her amazing restaurant and book. It’s my bible.

I’ve more orders than I can pack. I’d love to pay people, but can’t afford it (I’m crushed by the system) as I pay so much to the finance system. Is anyone lovely and lonely in South Devon? I am happy to swap your energy for my energy (turned into pasta, noodles, and biscuits…. And as we run towards the BBC RADIO 4 Food and farming finals … whoop whoop!! we will only get busier. FFF (fresh flour foundation) is a not for greed business fighting for control of FLOUR.
