We received this wonderful letter from Kai Moessle of Little Falls, New York. He says: “I am writing to let you know how happy I am with the performance and durability of your grain mill.  I bought mine directly from you as a “scratch and dent” special in 2008.  I have yet to find the blemish in the finish.  After 13 years I am still using the original grinding plates and have not noticed any decrease in flour quality or grinding speed.  I use an average of 100 lbs. of…

Malissas Letter

“This mill has my highest respect and approval.”

February 9, 2018

We received a letter from one of our wonderful customers who has owned the mill for 18 months and uses it almost daily to hand grind her wheat.  Malissa writes: “We had known about this mill for about two years.  And we were so desperate.  We had to get something.  Our common emergency mill was not suitable for long-term use for fine flour.  We were stumped.  (We were, at one point, buying whole wheat flour.)” Then, after purchasing the Country Living Grain Mill, Malissa continues, “Words cannot describe how this…

Walden Labs Grain Mill Review

April 1, 2015

Free

MSRP:

Excerpt from Country Living Grain Mill Review – Walden Labs “The benefits of grinding your own grains are many, one benefit being that you avoid the highly processed and refined flour that you buy in the store. That stuff is dead! Whole grain flour is healthier, plus whole grains store much longer than flour. While you could grind your own flour with just stones you’ll want a proper grain mill to do it effectively, for example the Country Living Grain Mill. The Country Living Grain Mill is one of the…

Hello Mr. Jenkins, You kindly brought one of your mills to the Grain Gathering at WSU-Mount Vernon in August, where I picked it up. Since then the mill has been out in the shop where my husband has been working on motorizing the mill and making a cart, so the mill can be portable. He worked very hard on this project, during his spare time! I wanted to write and let you know how much I am enjoying the mill, and to send some pictures of what my husband built…

The Best Biscuits Ever

Free

MSRP:

Dear staff at Country Living, My husband and I ordered the Country Living Grain Mill on the afternoon of July 13th and by 2pm on the 15th, received our order. We didn’t try the grain mill until a week later. We ground some hard red winter wheat on the fine setting (pastry flour texture) and I made and baked some of the best biscuits ever! They tasted so good! Nothing like homemade goods. Thank you for a well-made product. We are well pleased and hope to get many, many good years…

Hi! Just wanted to drop you a note to tell you how very much I am enjoying my Country Living Grain Mill.  IT IS AWESOME !!  I am blown away by how fast and easily it works.
