Nature has already packaged grains for storage, and if kept cool and dry, they will last for a long time. While grains like wheat can be sprouted or cooked without grinding them, with a little forethought, we can be prepared to mill our own flour by having a non-electric grain mill. While there are several models out there, the best for milling flour that we’ve found is the Country Living Grain mill. Made with solid I-beam construction from cast aircraft aluminum, double industrial sealed bearings, stainless steel shaft, and carbon steel grinding plates, this mill is backed by a lifetime warranty. Before shipping, each mill is tested to ensure proper functioning.

You can also purchase accessories, including the power bar, which extends the crank handle giving 40% more efficiency.
