Thank you everyone for your help.. I purchased a hand grand mill about a year and a half ago.. it doesn't grind fine enough. but then it only cost 69.00.. it did make good cream of wheat. lol
I got an electric one last spring..
Where is a good place to get a good hand crank mill..

oh I started baking bread again about 2 years ago..

We have a 3 female ducks and a drake. so I have fresh eggs. need to work on the powdered milk. but need to use up what I have.. I don't think it last very long..

PirtyKitty....Lehmans.com has a pretty decent hand mill.If you buy powdered non-fat dry milk in #10 cans it can last for up to 10yrs yrs(unopened).1 yr opened..

I agree. Lehman has a very good selection of many things useful in the event of problems. Check the prices before you buy. You can find everything they have somewhere on the Internet. You have to look carefully but also remember the cost of shipping is becoming astronomical lately so conserve as you shop.

Almost every food item you might want to purchase in large bulk can be obtained from www.waltonfeed.com I like their company and have had satisfactory experiences with them over the last 3 years. OOps I just read the string backward and you've already worked with them.

One of the important things is to be sure to have enough "fresh greens". Lately I've been having some absolutely wonderful salads with sprouts of a variety of seeds. Mung bean, broccoli, red beans, alfalfa, lentils, etc. And don't forget if they sprout, they'll grow out in the garden. The key to some of your DH's taste issues might be the "amendments" you add for flavor. Some balsamic vinegar or ACV and a little olive oil goes a long way for flavoring. Stock the things you CAN'T grow like black pepper, and the seasonings that come from "far away". They do wonders for your morale when things are "dodgy"!

Look at Waltonfeed's website and you will find most of what you might want. They are in Idaho. They have the Country Living Grain Mill (like mine) as well. Those are rather spendy but they work well, are built to last and will be very useful for all your grain needs. Do get the modification that allows you to grind all sorts of grains, though. That makes it so much more versatile.

Horse feathers. The order to Walton Feed had to be in by today with the money... I just went back over the order sheet and they had the country living mill on it..

will have to save up for it and get next year along with the other items it comes with..
