0:14.0 | Now, milling your own flour is a topic that I have talked about in the past, but today we are |
0:19.7 | putting an emphasis on and focus, excuse me, talking |
0:23.7 | about manual grain mills. |
0:26.4 | And I'm really excited to introduce you to today's guest because I find it extremely |
0:32.9 | refreshing when I can find a company that is truly making a product that is meant to last. I don't know |
