country living grain mill

[Terri9630]

If anyone needs one there is one currently on the shopgoodwill.com auction site. I bought one for my BFF last year for less than half price of a new one, with shipping.

I do not need a grain mill, but thanks for the link anyway. I had never heard of shopgoodwill and there was something interesting stuff on there.

I can get into soooo much trouble on that site.

The price has gone up since I looked earlier. It was maybe $14, now is $50.

I have an old mill that looks similar to this. It came from somewhere in Nebraska. I think it needs a new grinding stone, but I have no idea about how to get it replaced.

They are $400 new. The one I bought ended up at $225 after shipping. If it's a country living mill you can call them or go online and order every part you need. Do you have a picture?

No, but I will work on getting one tomorrow. It is too old to be a County Living mill.

They've been making them for about 40 years. There's also Diamant mill. Those run about $1200 so I didn't even look at those.

Mine is an antique. It says No. 2 1/2 on it. It looks similar to this one. The grinding stone is at the bottom of the hopper. You can tell that is has really been used a lot for grinding.

I have a few others, but picked this up a couple years ago, hoping that it would be usable some day.

I have one of these hand mills as well.

This is what my electrical one looks like. It is a Retsel.

I have one more grain grinder which involves two stones, one that is larger with an indent on the top, the other which is smaller and fits in the hand for grinding. I have never used it, but I do know there are many people who have used this type of grinder over the years, centuries, and millenniums.

It looks like a Diamant mill. I'd call Lehmans and see if they can help you find something that fits.

I watched Out of Goshen this morning. They bought some land in the fall in Michigan and want to "homestead." They are a Jewish family of 9. They moved from Pensacola, Florida last spring and traveled the country, looking for a new place to live. The parents used to raise lots of chickens in southern Colorado, so they have some experience with living on land.

People often send them things from their wish list. Today, they opened a box that had a grain mill that I have been looking for (because I need another one, not). It is one that is similar to the cast iron (?) Universal food grinders. I have searched ebay for the grain version, and they are not easy to find.

The grain grinder get unpacked at about 2:00 in this video.

That is like the one I have. I bought it at a yard sale for $7
