FLOURPOWER

FLOURPOWER is the commercial trading name of De Artemeersmolen, a working windmill in the Belgian province of Oost-Vlaanderen (East Flanders). The mill presents itself as a quality-and-craft business "since 1810" and operates as a full-time, family-run windmill company without side activities or subsidies. Under the FLOURPOWER BV name it mills exclusively Belgian-grown grains — preferably landraces or older varieties — into organic certified flours and meals. The company's production is deliberately small-scale and artisanal. Its windmill is described as an efficient, fully consumption-milling windmill with an annual turnover of more than 250 tonnes of authentic, organically certified mill products. Milling is done on wind power, with electricity as a backup when there is no wind, using French natural stones to produce what the company calls a pure end product. No additives, preservatives or flour improvers are used in its flours and meals; its own bread-baking mixes contain only wheat gluten and acerola powder to improve rising. By-products from flour production are reused in the bread mixes, which the company frames as a circular food-production process. FLOURPOWER positions itself as unique in Oost-Vlaanderen and far beyond as a small, professional windmill business. It sells to bakers and consumers who value honest, local and organic bread. From mid-2026 the mill plans to generate green electricity from wind as well, making all electricity used in production CO2-neutral and very locally sourced; if it needs additional power it can rely on green electricity from ECOPOWER CV. The brand is a niche, private, family enterprise rather than a large industrial food company. Its identity is built on heritage (the 1810 date), craft milling, organic certification, local Belgian grain, and sustainability. The official website is flourpower.be.

FLOURPOWER is the trading name under which De Artemeersmolen, a windmill in Oost-Vlaanderen, Belgium, operates as a commercial flour producer. The mill traces its quality-and-craft heritage to 1810, the date it uses in its branding ("KWALITEIT & AMBACHT SINDS 1810"). It is a full-time active windmill company with no side activities and no subsidies, and it describes itself as a small, family-run and professional windmill business that is unique in the province of Oost-Vlaanderen and far beyond. The mill is equipped for consumption milling and has an annual turnover of more than 250 tonnes of authentic, organically certified mill products. It processes exclusively grains grown in Belgium, preferring landraces or older varieties, into organic flours and meals. Milling is powered by wind, with electricity available when there is no wind, and uses French natural stones to produce a pure end product. The company states that its flours and meals contain no additives, preservatives or flour improvers, and that its own bread-baking mixes contain only wheat gluten and acerola powder to improve rising. By-products from flour production are reused in the bread mixes, which the company describes as a circular food-production process. Looking ahead, from mid-2026 the mill plans to generate green electricity from wind so that all electricity used in production is CO2-neutral and very locally sourced; if it runs short, it can rely on green electricity from ECOPOWER CV. The business remains a private, family-owned enterprise focused on craft, organic certification and local Belgian grain.
