WHOLEMEAL STONE GROUND SPELT FLOUR & WINDMILL TOURS

It is a well-known fact that wholemeal flour is far superior in nutritional value than white flour. At The Lily we produce only wholemeal Spelt flour without removing or adding anything to the flour in the process.

We specialize in Spelt flour; we grow Spelt, de-husk Spelt and we mill the Spelt with traditional large Dutch grinding stones in our windmill. Our Spelt flour is available at selected outlets in WA and nation wide via Australia Post. For our restaurant and accommodation guests we bake wholemeal Spelt bread.

For detailed information about windmill tours, the workings of our windmill and our stoneground Spelt flour please go to the Windmills page.
