Who are Doves Farm?

 

Since 1976, Doves Farm products have been loved by home bakers up and down the country. Doves Farm initially began as a passion for its founders, who had been experimenting with milling ancient grains like rye and spelt. Soon after, Doves Farm became a major success, as health food stores all around the UK saw the benefits of organic wholemeal flour. Based out of Hungerford, this local brand is a real winner.

 

Over the years Doves Farm’s popularity has helped create a home baking revolution that’s still apparent today. If you’re reading this, we’ll assume you enjoy making your own bread and cakes as much as Doves Farm enjoys milling quality ingredients!

 

And because Doves Farm is specialist producers of flour, you won’t always find their products in supermarkets but you will at Holland & Barrett. In addition to flour, we also stock a variety of Doves Farm foods, including apricot-flavoured oat biscuits, which are especially delicious as a mid-morning snack or for when you’re on the go.

 

Doves Farm for people who are coeliac 

 

Whereas flour is commonly made with grains like wheat, many of Doves Farm’s products are naturally wheat-free as well as organic, which is especially good to know if you have a wheat allergy or if you’re cutting down on wheat in your diet.

 

That’s true of everyday flours like plain and self-raising white flour and other Doves Farm bread flour products, which you can use in a number of recipes. Just check the product descriptions across our online store to see which products are most suitable for your dietary requirements.
