Welcome to our monthly “Meet the Maker” series, where we spotlight the incredible suppliers that we work with at Bayley & Sage. This month, learn more about Wildfarmed.
The Wildfarmed Story
Wildfarmed believes good food should be good for everyone, for those who eat it, those who grow it, and the planet itself. Founded on the simple idea of farming with nature, not against it, Wildfarmed grows wheat without chemicals in fields full of life. The result? Flour that’s better for taste, health and the soil. Powered by a growing network of farmers, bakers and businesses, they are proving food can truly be a force for good.
Their journey started with a clear mission: to challenge an industrial food system that harms people and planet, and instead offer an alternative rooted in community, care and soil health. For Wildfarmed, fixing food means helping to fix the planet, one field, one loaf at a time.
What Makes Wildfarmed Different
Wildfarmed is not just a flour brand, but an end-to-end supply chain supporting regenerative farming at scale. They work with over 50 farms across the UK and France, embracing farming methods that prioritise biodiversity and soil health. Every crop is grown without pesticides during the growing process, following rigorous Wildfarmed Regenerative Standards, audited by third parties to ensure transparency and trust.
Regenerative farming is at the heart of what they do. Instead of monocultures, their fields are alive with companion crops, species-rich cover mixes, and where possible, grazing animals. It is about keeping the soil covered year-round, reducing erosion and flooding risk, and nurturing a thriving habitat for birds, bees, and other essential wildlife.
A New Approach to Wheat
When it comes to wheat, Wildfarmed is not focused on labels like “heritage” or “modern.” Instead, they choose varieties best suited to low-input, diverse systems, whether they are centuries old or newly bred for resilience. The goal is healthy crops that thrive without chemicals, supporting a living, breathing farm ecosystem.
Their community of farmers includes both those already farming regeneratively and those just starting the transition. Through support and collaboration, Wildfarmed is helping more growers move away from yield-at-any-cost systems to farming that values balance and biodiversity.
Why It Matters
Wildfarmed’s approach to farming addresses some of the biggest challenges facing our food system: declining wildlife populations, soil loss, polluted waterways, and unsustainable yields. By putting soil health first, regenerative practices restore rather than deplete natural resources. It is farming that works with nature’s rhythm to leave the land better for the next generation.
At Bayley & Sage, we’re proud to support Wildfarmed’s mission by stocking their regeneratively grown flour in our stores. You’ll also find their exceptional flour used in many of the freshly baked breads and pastries we sell, including those from beloved producers like Snapery and Layers. By choosing Wildfarmed, we’re not just backing better farming, we’re bringing you better flavour, better texture, and better food, from soil to shelf.
