Mount
Pleasant Windmill
is a traditional four-sailed brick tower mill built in 1875 on
the Lincoln Cliff overlooking Kirton-in-Lindsey with extensive
views
over the Trent Valley and the Wolds. It was wind powered until
1936 when the sails were removed.
It
did not start milling by wind power again until fully renovated
in
1991. We purchased the windmill in 2000 after months of scouring
the country to find the ideal premises to start our Organic
Bakery.
We
are now grinding 10 different Pure Stoneground
Organic Flours which we sell in our Tea
Rooms and on the
Internet. We only use the finest quality Organic
Grown British Wheat. Why? Because we are truly committed
to organic farming and secondly because there is absolutely no need
for extra strong foreign wheat when traditional methods of milling
are used.
Our
flours are totally UNBLEACHED, UNTREATED
with nothing added or removed. As we mill on a daily basis, we
can guarantee their total freshness. Lastly, we had an amazing 18-ton
wood-fired oven built next door and we bake all the cakes
in our Tea Rooms, the scones etc.. as well as up to 20 different
types of Organic Breads with our OWN
Pure Stoneground
Organic Flours. The quality of our flours is therefore
paramount. We do not grind for the sheer pleasure of using a
windmill,
we grind for serious
baking.
