Ok, I'm aware this may not be THE place, but here's a request.
I'm looking for used, operational "Country Living" grain mills.
Anybody got one they aren't using/don't use they may sell?

The antiquity isn't the problem.....
The $999.00, on the other hand.....🤯
I currently have one "Country Living" grain mill. We bought it over 30 years ago when they were about $350.
I've motorized it and I'm selling wheat flour out of a farmers market nearby.
A new Country Living grain mill is currently nearly $600!
Problem is, I'm going to start grinding corn into cornmeal.
A second mill would allow me to have a dedicated corn mill and a dedicated wheat mill.
When you finish for the day, simply blow the dust out of each mill and cover. No more listing "may have traces of wheat/corn" on each bag.
I'm hope is that someone may have grain mill I could pick up for cheap and refurbish.

I wonder if they are still being made in Ukraine? Maybe that's why the price it high.

The homebrew community is where I'd look.

Good Luck! I’ll be surprised if anyone parts with theirs! as the investment is pretty high and most people buying them anticipate the need for them soon!
But……..Good Luck! memtb
