About Us

"As
a vegetarian, my
diet lacked daily fibre. Owning a grain mill and baking our own
bread has provided me with
the fibre that I needed to be regular." C.Price

"I
am writing to say that my Campo
hand flaker is performing very well.
I am so impressed, I have decided
to buy the Country hand mill as well!" G.Adams

Why
use a
Kitchen Grain Mill?
Commercial milling removes nearly
30% of the the most nutritious parts of the whole grain. Within
72 hours, whole grain flour has lost over 80% of vitamins. Mold
and rancidity also quickly combine to further reduce nutrients and
taste.
A kitchen grain mill
allows you to make
fresh whole-grain flour at home, high in nutrients and taste.
What
can be milled?
Wheat, Rye, Spelt, Barley, Oats, Millet, Corn (Maize),
Durum Wheat, Long Grain Rice, Round Grain Rice, Buckwheat, Linseed,
Chickpeas, Dried Peas, Yeast Flakes, Coffee, Quinoa, Amaranth
etc
What
Spices?
Stone grinding includes Coriander, Fennel, Cloves, Fenugreek, Caraway,
All Spice (pimento or Jamaican Pepper), Pepper Corn, Mustard Seed,
Dill, Nigella (Black Cumin) and the seeds of Green, White, Black
Cardamon etc.

As easy as 1-2-3.
1. mill the flour 2. add the ingredients and
3. start the bread maker!
For those with limited time, a Bread Maker is a great companion
to a kitchen grain mill ... and if you are OK with yeast and
gluten, this recipe will give consistent results. Great for
sandwiches and toast!

400g fine freshly ground whole-grain wheat flour
400ml water + 4 tablespoons of Olive Oil
1 teaspoon of fine salt + 2 tablespoons of honey
1.5 teaspoons of dried yeast + 1 tablespoon gluten flour

"About 16 years ago I was diagnosed
with hypoglycaemia or low blood sugar and advised
to take sugar out of my diet. Anyone who has had
to do this knows that it is not an easy task.
Try and go down the supermarket aisles and find
packaged or tinned food without sugar! One ends
up in... the fresh food section every time.
Then, there was bread. It became difficult to
find bread that was made without sugar.
We just could not find any decent bread.

An article about bread came
to my attention and revolutionised our whole lives
- and so began my search for a grain mill in Australia.
We had never heard of such a thing as a kitchen
mill - let alone find one... eventually I heard
from my dentist’s wife about a little mill her
mum had used for years. So, we found and purchased
our first grain mill. What an exciting thing this
was - we very quickly discovered that there is
simply no comparison between freshly milled whole
grain flour and the flour which is used in store
bought bread. No comparison on taste and nutrition.
And of course, there were the immediate health
benefits. Definitely no more constipation with
very healthy and happy bowels plus a general sense
of well being. Now in my mid 70's, fresh flour
continues to be one of the most important parts
of my diet." Joan McPhail.

I started milling in 1993 after
being inspired by a girl friend who had an oat
roller at home, and soon became addicted to the
freshness and goodness of rolled oats muesli.
From there I started researching the beneficial
properties of whole foods and fresh-ground flour
which seek to minimise the oxidization process
that takes place in processed foods; hence the
notion of 'living' food. What started out as an
experimentation of organic living food versus
'dead' food has become a way of living and my
new life philosophy that can never again be supplanted
with processed foods.

Since moving away from a western-wheat-dependent-processed
diet and introducing the whole variety of grains
available such as spelt, sorghum, millet, rye,
barley, quinoa, mung and adzuki beans, the health
effects have been monumental.
The switch to organic living foods (including
home milling and flaking) has seen a number of
health benefits including: the reduction of allergies;
increased energy levels; calmer and clearer thought
processes; longevity; and greater exercise endurance
which I attribute to the increased levels of vitamins
and minerals that you take in as part of enjoying
such living food.
The other aspect which makes such a way of living
viable, is the decreased impact it has on the
environment and the supply of food available for
human consumption. The use of home milling ensures
that the resources used are minimised to satisfy
the energy requirements of a human being. This,
in addition to providing your body with the most
essential needs of trace elements, vitamins, minerals
and fibre make home milling the only choice.
Whilst the initial outlay may seem a large investment,
the actual cost of purchasing grain and fresh
fruit and vegetables is relatively inexpensive,
meaning that home milling is not only affordable
for everyone, but is the most affordable way to
live. Karsten Kobbe.
