Back in the olden days.....
[1982] we bought this wheat grinder. A more reliable piece of equipment, I have never found:

It grinds the wheat slowly so it doesn't heat it up too much which is supposed to preserve more vitamins. Though I end up slapping the bread dough or whatever else I use the flour for in a 350 degree oven eventually, so I don't know if that really matters, but some folks think it does.
If you look closely, you can see the flour dropping down into the tupperware thing.
This one is as I said, old. Here is what the new ones look like:
Retsel Mill Rite
Classier and more appliance like. Mine looks like it belongs in the barn. It DOES reside in the garage which is the closest thing to a barn that we have right now.
I'm getting ready to bake blueberry muffins with the flour. It's still warm from grinding. There's something good about that. Something very good indeed.
