This is not just flour
Most of the wheat used in our Collection sourdough is grown by a network of British farmers who work with innovative regenerative farming company Wildfarmed. Founders of Wildfarmed, Andy Cato, George Lamb and Edd Lees, encourage growers to embrace regenerative farming practices, helping to improve biodiversity, soil healthand climate resilience whilstreducing carbon emissions from food and farming. All Wildfarmed farmersgrow wheat without the application of insecticides, herbicides or fungicides, helping to protect the planet for future generations whilst tackling the climate crisis.
Working with M&S, they’re able to transform vast areas of arable land from chemical-based farming systems to ones that promote soil health. By growing a diverse variety of wheat alongside companion and cover crops, the aim is to make agriculture a solution to the country’s biodiversity crisis, rather than a contributor to it.
