However I have also seen it for sale at my local grocery stores and I believe at super Walmart.<BR/><BR/> About flour: I do grind my own flour with an electric grain grinder. I have a "Whisper mill" which works very well. The term whisper can be a little decieving though as it is still quite loud. It is quiter than other models that I have been around though. I was given my grain grinder as a wedding present so that was a huge blessing for me. If you google "Whisper Mill grain grinder" there are places you can buy it online. <BR/> I do not grow my own wheat or other grains. We buy most of it from a grainery a couple of towns away. We have also bought through co-ops but the grainery is a lot cheaper. The price of Wheat is going up however. Last year we paid around $7 for a 50 lb bag and this year it was over $20.<BR/> If you are interested in growing your own wheat I would recommend "The Encyclopedia of Country Living" by Carla Emery. She explains how to do that as well as how to grow or raise and use many other natural foods.<BR/> I hope you all have fun with eating healthier and more natural foods. I find it to be a fun adventure.Abbihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01842277589160618685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-720122887391988458.post-91428115253406352422008-05-29T21:48:00.000-05:002008-05-29T21:48:00.000-05:00Just wondering if you could give me more info abou...Just wondering if you could give me more info about your flour. We are wanting to start growing and grinding our own flour. Where did you get your equipment (what exactly does it take anyhow?) and do you grow your own or do you buy it? <BR/>Any info would be greatly appreciated :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-720122887391988458.post-10489358881341337852008-05-29T09:59:00.000-05:002008-05-29T09:59:00.000-05:00I really like the pretty picture of the flowers. ...I really like the pretty picture of the flowers.
