Hand Grain grinders on back order

[Guest guest]

================================

 

Just a note to Y2K conference members. I suppose many of you are planning to

stock whole grains as part of your Y2K provisions -- since they will keep

longer than flour, and can also be used as seeds if necessary. So naturally,

you will need some type of non-electric grain mill to grind your grains,

chickpeas, corn, etc.

 

Well, the news is, a lot of other people are also thinking like you.

 

My mother sent us some Christmas money, so I thought it was a great opportunity

to order a grain grinder. I got a phone call yesterday from Lehman's Hardware

saying that the grain grinders were in such great demand that they have placed

my request **on back order until March!**

 

I'm glad I didn't wait until March to order it.

 

Lehman's website is http://www.lehmans.com Also "Learn more about gardening,

baking bread, making cheese, living without electricity, homesteading and much

more at http://countrylife.net ."

 

Here's the address for Lehman's

 

Lehman Hardware and Appliance

One Lehman Circle, PO Box 41

Kidron, Ohio 44636 USA

 

phone 330-857-5757

fax 330-857-5785

 

If you order something worth more than $75 you can request a free catalog

"Lehman's Source List for Hard-to-Find Items." "We spent years compiling this

list of sources for hard-to-find items. Many are virtually unknown cottage

industries. Learn where to buy Amish buggies, antique stove parts, horse drawn

farm equipment, rare seeds, windmills, beekeeping supplies, spinning looms,

herbs, and much more. Dozens of sources!"

 

For anyone who is interested I ordered "our best grain mill" with stone burrs

C-17A for $149.00. You can also get this with Cast Iron burrs, for same price

C-17B (for tahini, nut butters, etc.)

 

For a coarses flour, or higher volume, or for livestock, there is another good

mill: #232 for $165.00.

 

The other good source like this is

 

Cumberland General Store

Business Opportunity!! I personally am not going to do this, but I think that

this would be a nice opportunity for a devotee or several different devotees --

to obtain small self-sufficient equipment to sell at Mayapur and at our Ratha

Yatra fairs this summer. If you stock up now, you'll have a hot item, by the

time all other sources put people on back order. Maybe this could be a

fund-raiser for temples.

 

Along with this, I think a Y2K self-sufficiency book store or display would be

a good idea. It's very hard for people to track down self-sufficiency titles.

The basic book to start with, of course, is the *Alternative Technology

Sourcebook* since that contains 1100 other titles in it.

LOL.

 

Personally never seen the website but have been to the store and can confirm

that they do use electric lights in the store. Devotees aren't the only ones

who do things like go out in cars to distribute books glorifying a

civilisation

based on animal traction.
