As homesteaders, we like to be prepared for anything - with a little grit and determination. But as modern homesteaders with an image to maintain, it’s still okay to embrace convenience! In today’s episode, Bonnie Jones of Grain Maker Grain Mills shows us how we can have the best of both: convenience through innovation and hard-earned self-sufficiency.
Bonnie and her husband were homeschool parents facing the Y2K scare of 1999 when they began their venture into grain milling as a home business and disaster preparation plan. The very first GrainMaker® mill was designed when they were raising their family, homeschooling their children and generally learning to become more self-sufficient-or "God-reliant." Today, they’ve perfected their heirloom quality hand-operated and motorized mill that boasts a rustic homestead aesthetic, durability, and versatility. They still own and operate their flourishing home business, GrainMaker Grain Mills, and share their love for baking bread with homesteaders and homeschoolers at conferences across the country.
“We may not ever be the largest grain mill manufacturer in the world, but we really wanted to have a good name and do our very best. We're constantly growing and changing because of all the things that people are finding out and teaching us.” - Bonnie Jones, Grain Maker
Join us as we talk about bread making, recipes, grain milling, experimentation over perfection, gardening, and more!
