Grain Mills

I found a couple of human-powered grain mills, for grinding grain into flour without the benefit of electricity.

One is the Wonder Junior Deluxe, which has the benefit of coming with both stainless steel burr heads and stone heads.  This sells for about $200; unfortunately, the place of manufacture isn't listed.

The other is the Country Living grain mill, which supposedly requires less work to grind grains, but only comes with stainless steel heads.  While it costs $400, it's also made in the USA.

I'll probably go with the cheaper solution, but if it turns out we use it a lot, I may upgrade.  The Ready Store and USA Emergency Supply carry various useful items.


Additions [11/13]: SG pointed me to the Family Grain Mill, which is a modular unit that has grain mill, flaker, food processor, and meat grinder attachments on interchangeable hand-grind and electric bases.  Apparently the base is Lexan, however.  I also couldn't find a website for the manufacturer, which is apparently German.  Pleasant Hill Grain also sells the Country Living mill.

Lehman's also sells the FGM and Country Living mills, as well as another hand mill made in Ohio.  Their made in USA page is interesting as well.
