Our stoneground flours come from an organic Welsh watermill. We sell to a variety of locations in mid-Wales. Including Llanidloes, Caersws, Newtown and Llandrindod Wells. We also share a market stall in Machynlleth on a Wednesday. As well as the bread business, we run pizza events and would like to work more on this in the future. Andy also runs courses at the bakery and there is the potential to use the bakery as a small retail unit. Bread is delivered to Llanidloes around 1/2 mile away on an electric cargo trike.
