Milling grain by hand or by bicycle in the farmhouse kitchen makes us a more resilient, autonomous household. Human-powered, pedal-powered machines help us adapt to a changing world.
With whole grains in the pantry, we know we can mill what we need to make sourdough or pasta or baked goods. There’s both convenience and serenity in being just a bit more self-reliant.
Milling like this can also form part of community reliance, tool-sharing and skill-sharing in a more equitable, ecological, local economy.
Watching right to the very last frame is always worth it, particularly when certain characters want extra attention all through the shoot!
