MSRP:

This morning I received a phone call from a very pleasant lady from Missouri. She said that they had bought the Country Living Mill several months ago and that they had been very happy with it, it gave them beautiful flour. They used wheat that they had stored in their freezer. When they had ground the last of their freezer stored wheat they purchased more grain, packaged in paper bags, from a nearby bulk food store.

As part of an educational and informational program demonstrating at exhibitions and schools nationwide, the Canadian Grain Commission selected the Country Living Grain Mill to illustrate the concepts of self-sufficiency and whole living.

I used to have it clamped to the peninsula in the kitchen and I always kept the hopper full because when my kids’ friends came by they enjoyed having contests to see who could grind a hopper the fastest, so you had better believe I was johnny-on-the-spot keeping wheat going…

Hooking up your Mill to an Exercise Bike

September 1, 2015

Free

MSRP:

I suggest that you look for an exercycle with a cast iron flywheel and enough space between the frame and the flywheel to allow you to bring a V-belt out from the hub. It was 4:55 a.m., the time that our alarm radio does its early morning thing. My consciousness was struggling when an announcer began intoning something about “the most fuel-efficient machine in the world. This marvelous machine gets 914 miles per gallon,” he said.
