Today, we’re STEPPING OUTSIDE our COMFORT ZONE to try out a manual grain & seed stone mill, RECOMMENDED by ONE of YOU! 🙌 I’ll share all the details on why we decided to give it a go, how it benefits our health and lifestyle, plus a full step-by-step tutorial on how to assemble it and how to use it!
The Wondermill Junior Deluxe Manual Grain Mill is a game changer for us! As many of you know, we’ve shared tons of videos about the grains we grow—like sorghum, millet, amaranth, and corn—but that’s just the beginning! We’re also growing rice, barley, wheat, spelt, hemp, and even experimenting with buckwheat this year. 🌱 We’ve been making flour with a blender, but this mill has really impressed us! It makes flour without heating it up, it hulled our sorghum while leaving the chaff intact in big pieces, making it super easy to sift it out, and it can not only mill dry grain, it can also mill oily stuff too, like peanuts, sunflower seeds & more. Come join us as we learn the process, share tips, & tackle a few bumps along the way. It’s easier than you think, and it’s a big step toward living a more natural, simplified life! 🌿✨
