This is the second part of my long awaited Mecca post. After the KitchenAid Factory tour, we took an unplanned trip to a grist mill. This is Bear's Mill, that still grinds its own flour and corn and locally run. It is very idyllic and pretty, with a river running through it.
There was a broken wagon outside and some pumpkins with fallen leaves.
Here's the stream, pictured in color and in black and white.
The inside of the mill was also a museum, with old machinery and informative labels about the mill and the equipment. Here is a little mouse hole with a metal mouse.
Here are some old fashioned scales.
Here are some old bicycles.
Here are some of the old chutes that transports the grain down the mill.
Here is one of the large stones used to grind the grains.
After stocking up on some local flour and grains, we ended up in a Mennonite Coffee shop, pictured here. They actually had some really good food!
At last, here is my new KitchenAid mixer, sitting in it's new home. I've already used it twice so far, and it's going to get used more this holiday season!
Have a Happy Thanksgiving! I'm going to get back to studying now.
