I did.

Not for sale, but because it felt stupid to grow the stuff and buy bread flour.

The coffee mill doesn't like it. It's designed for short bursts of grinding, and doesn't go very fine anyway.

I think that most people will find hammer milled and unsifted wheat just a bit too coarse for their needs. A dose of seed dressing won't do much for the flavour either!!

As kids we used the farm coffee grinder ( for grinding grain samples) to make enough for a loaf. Cant remember what it turned out like though

@Raynard might know someone doing this. If you want the flour, ask these guys just south of Shaftesbury http://stoatesflour.co.uk/

I believe that Shipton Mill at Tetbury is selling in bags. The main issue generally seems to be that household demand is more than the capacity of the packaging plants as most flour is delivered in bulk.

I bought 20kg back in early Jan, surprising how much I use, get through a 2kg loaf in a day and a half, also bought a mill (not cheap) and now have been milling some of my Mulika SW, I also have some full spec Skyfall which I have yet to try.
I dont think I will ever be buying a loaf ever again from a shop, it's lovely

Interesting.

What mill did you go for? Does it do a good job?

You can have all the flour in the world but you need yeast too and theres none to be had.
