Inside The Gristmill

From the Homestead Fair archive, originally published 2014-11-13.

Built circa 1760, our restored Gristmill originally came from Long Valley, New Jersey. (You can read more about the history of the Gristmill here: www.homesteadgristmill.com).

Inside we found young Ethan helping sift freshly ground Cumin and several other folks bagging up stone ground corn grits and other milled products. If you’re looking for some of those hard-to-find specialty flours, such as Barley or Spelt, be sure to stop in to the Gristmill, they’ll have both of those plus many more! Don’t see what you’re looking for on the shelf during the Fair? Be sure to ask one of our miller’s and they’ll be happy to help you find what you need.
