While traveling on vacation, my husband and I happened upon an old mill in  Oak Ridge, North Carolina. We had already passed the sign but could not pass up the opportunity to turn around to find out more. To our delight, we walked into the Old Mill of Guilford. A quaint place where they still make whole grain products from scratch. We purchased several bags of fresh ground whole wheat flour, buckwheat pancake mix and spelt flour.

After taking several photos of the mill and saying our goodbyes, we continued our journey up through the Blue Ridge Mountains as we made our way back home to Ohio. I said to my husband, "What I need now are some recipes or better yet a cookbook featuring the use of whole wheat flour." Sure, I knew I might be able to just try substituting whole wheat flour for white flour but I love to collect cookbooks and was curious as to if I could find a cookbook featuring the use of whole wheat flour. 

Our next stop on our journey, was in Virginia. It was there that I my eyes caught a glimpse of a book entitled, "Wholesome Sugarfree Cooking" written by Ray and Malinda Yutzy. I immediately had to browse through and rule out the use of any artificial sweeteners as the source of their claim of "sugarfree" and was pleased to find healthy substitutes! Better yet, I had found the cookbook I was seeking featuring "whole wheat flour" as well as other natural grains and ingredients!

I feel it's one of my many missions in life to be a sponsor and promoter of this wonderful, health-conscious, Amish written cookbook.

I'm enjoying getting "healthier" and I believe you will to! Cooking and baking has never been better...
                                                  Enjoy,

Whole Wheat & Whole Grain
Flour Mills of the U.S.

On a recent trip through North Carolina, I came upon a quaint old mill located in Oak Ridge - The Old Mill of Guilford, owned by Charles and Heidi Parnell. My husband and I toured the small mill and gift shop, snapped some photos and purchased several bags of Hard Red Whole Wheat Flour and Whole Wheat Pastry Flour as well as some Buckwheat Pancake Mix.

This whole wheat flour was "hot off the press" as they grind and bag their own flour and grains right on premises. And what great tasting flour it is! My home made buttermilk pancakes never tasted so good as they do when made with whole wheat flour instead of refined white flour.

Upon arriving back home to Ohio, I started researching the internet for other active flour mills and I came across this web site: http://www.millpictures.com/index.cfm

This web site features over 593 mills. Now I can't tell you how many are mills are actively milling flour and other grains but I encourage you to peruse the web site and see for yourself.  But if you are a "mill buff" you will enjoy the web site nonetheless.

When I type in "active flour mills usa" in the search engines, I come up with 74,800(+) listings using those words! Needless to say, I need your help.

The resources (national brands) that I've been able to track down for whole wheat flour and other grains are:

Arrowhead Mills
Bob's Red Mill
Hayoe Mills (low carb)- Canada
Hodgson Mill
King Arthur Flour
Stone-Buhr

Please email me an any information you can provide for active flour mills in your area. Type in  "Flour Mill" in the Subject Line so that I do not think your email is junk mail.

Thank you!
