Holgate Windmill

@choir_york @nigelmtaylor Thank you for sharing this post. So pleased you enjoyed baking with our flour!

@nigelmtaylor Baked bread with freshly milled flour from @HolgateWindmill. It was the 1st batch of a new wheat and it worked fantastically. I do love having a working, 5 sail windmill literally round the corner 🥰

Loaf no.6. A French Crusty 🇫🇷 I’ll have some with balsamic and olive oil tonight. This baking lark is fun and delicious.

HOW EXCITING! You can now watch our windmill's activity in real time, along with wind speed, sail direction, and other vital stats. Just go to smartmolem.com, and look for Holgate for all the fun! Thanks to #UpminsterWindmill, with tech by #SmartMolen.

If you're out and about for York Residents' Weekend, do drop in and see us. We can't promise fair skies, but can promise a warm welcome, and a fascinating local story of how this windmill was brought back to life. We're open 10-4, both days.

We know it is really too early to use the “C” word but just in case you like to plan well in advance we do have these beautiful Christmas Cards( designed by Jane Dignum) for sale in the mill!! #holgatewindmill #christmascards #janedignum #janedignumartworks #holgate

Did you know this month is Soudough September? Our flour makes an excellent soudough starter. An interesting fact a bakery called Chrissi's Farmhouse Bakery uses it and said, “This noble starter dates back 900 years” and many people even take theirs on holiday!!!
