Organic Mill & Tea

I have been hearing about the Organic Mill since last December. People keep asking me if I have been and what I ate there, or if I sampled any of the flours? I hadn't a chance to go in January before we left for the States, so now that we are back we went for tea and a light lunch. 

 But first we looked around and enjoyed the flowers.

And the actual mill was working that day.

We around the other side to get a quick glimpse of it turning & grinding the flour.

The wheel working!

See the water-wheel?

A visit while exploring in late June.

Enough of that I'm hungry now!

The grounds are really pretty, too!

Mill water.

Yum!

Inside-

I had Hibiscus tea. It was very good!

Mr. had regular tea and an assortment of veggies + a small quiche.

I ordered homemade pea soup. (I actually was wearing a coat. Crazy, right?)

It was very good too.

Fresh made breads with the flour ground there. You can purchase a wide variety of organic flours in the shop.

They also sell a few gift type items.

The bowl was way too much for me to finish.

I ate all I could then we went for another stroll outside.

Wild garden. This area, I was told, was allow to go back to nature.

Its really pretty with the wildflowers.

Chickens are on patrol-

Crystal clear water-

Not chickens-

More wildflowers-

It's really a very pretty and tranquil place.

The entrance-

The Organic Mill is located in North Cumbria, England. There were a few people coming and going during our time there, but if you visit during the week it is much less busy. Allow enough time to wander around, see the flowers, tour the mill and chase the chickens, lol.  I was glad I had time to eat and explore the grounds, without rushing.  I enjoyed it and will visit again soon. I think this will be a regular spot for us to bring guests.


See you at the airport-
