BBC Scotland local food feature: Dumfries & Galloway, Borders suggestions wanted

competitionscafe

The BBC news website is doing an interesting feature this week where 2 of their reporters eat nothing but local food for a week - they also welcome suggestions of local producers, farm shops etc. I emailed with a few suggestions and got a friendly personal reply. I know the Dumfries and Galloway guy is still looking for pasta flour - anyone know of a local flour mill?

Of course a group of people in Fife have been doing this for a lot longer than a week, their blog is also a good read: http://fifediet.wordpress.com/about/

There's this: Heatherslaw Mill, "A working water mill, where locally grown wheat is ground to make a stoneground wholemeal flour. A miller is on hand to demonstrate and explain the process."

It's on the Ford & Etal estate, but that's actually Northumberland...

Can't seem to find a mill in the Borders/Dumfries & Galloway...

Tell them to dine at The Wheatsheaf in Swinton near Duns - fab food! http://www.wheatsheaf-swinton.co.uk/index.htm
