any specific questions. ine

Nanette,

I'll be looking into a grain mill myself some year (currently not

enough space or use). However, I have seen a number of grain mills

available from an Amish oriented store called Lehman's. Many of the

mills are available in hand- or electric-crank and Lehman's provides a

chart comparing the performances of their mills (most importantly speed

and fineness of milling). They are accessable on-line. You might want to

check them out.

Now, what I need to find is a mill that will break up and separate

honey locust and hibiscus pods. They're a lot of trouble to process by hand.

I own both the Nutri Mill and the Country Living Mill. Both found

here: (but I purchased them somewhere else)

I bought the County Living Mill first in '99. I like it. But I got

tired of the hand cranking. Even though it made a good concequence

for my boys if they were misbehaiving. I did hook it up to a separate

motor one time, but it's wasn't something I could have around kids and

the flour was difficult to keep from flying around - too much dust.

I like the electric Nutri-mill. Convenient!! I can keep it in my

kitchen and it's faster at grinding grain than my boys are!

Does anyone use a grain mill? I know that I can get whole amaranth and

quinoa and millet much cheaper than their flours, so I was thinking

that maybe a grain mill would be worth getting. What are the pros

and cons? Does anyone have a recommendation?
