The Family Grain Mill is made in West Germany. It is an easy to use manual grain mill, and works great as an electric grain mill using the Kitchenetics Gourmet Champ motor base. This is a less expensive alternative to the $180 Family Grain Mill motor base. The Family Grain Mills are dependable and well made. Since it is a Hybrid System (both manual and electric options), with many accessories, it has added versatility. I can send you the Family Grain Mill manual by email.

This will be deleted when sold, so if you see this post, it is still available. Also, this is for a local sale and pick-up only (cash); I will not ship, or meet outside of Avalon and I will only meet in a public place/at my local grocery store. Product Description (Found Online): The Family Grain Mill is much easier to turn than most hand operated grain mills. Will not grind as fast as an impact chamber mill such as the Nutrimill, or quite as fine of a flour though still fine enough for bread, but is much more versatile, as you can grind anywhere from cracking grains to flour with the turn of a knob. Oily grains/nuts such as peanuts and sesame will not hurt the Family Grain mill, as they will on an impact chamber mill such as the Wonder Mill or Nutrimill. Will grind approx. 1 cup in 2 minutes w/ motor, and slightly less by hand. Though the Family Grain mill will not grind as fine as some of the impact chamber mills, this is much more versatile, and the easiest to operate hand mill we have ever tried. The Family Grain Mill is the easiest hand mill to crank of any hand mill we have ever tried, yet has an optional motor base, for more convenient grinding. The Family Grain Mill will grind all small non oily grains, and also corn and beans with two passes. This Mill Attaches to the Bosch Mixer and KitchenAid Mixer with special adapters. The Family Grain Mill grinds fine enough for bread, or coarse enough for cereal, or cracked wheat, all with the turn of a knob. Made in Germany. Most versatile hand mill we have seen. --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus

Lard and eggs!- Singing Wren Farms
by Mike and Nicole Carlin 11 May '18

11 May '18

We will be in Pittsburgh THIS MONDAY MAY 14th and making deliveries after noon. I have pints of leaf lard at $10 and all natural, pasture raised eggs at $5 a dozen. Call to make your order before Monday. Check out our Egg-ucation blog post at www.singingwren.farm to learn more about pasture raised eggs. If you haven't heard, lard has gotten a bad rap but it is starting to make a comeback. Studies are showing that lard from pasture-raised pigs is high in omega-3 fatty acids making it far healthier than many people realize. In addition to the fact that it makes the most amazing pie crust and pastry you have ever had due to the unique structure of the fat with none of the health concerns associated with hydrogenated oils. Singing Wren Farms has a limited supply of rendered leaf lard for $10 a pint. Leaf lard is the fat that surrounds the organs and is considered the pemium lard for baking. Our heritage American Guinea Hogs are raised on pasture without antibiotics or hormones with access to plenty fresh organic pasture and organic hay as well as the ability to root and create wallows. To see the hogs, go to our website at www.singingwren.farm Grow Well, Nicole Carlin 412.361.4842 <(412)%20361-4842>

Rock throwing seems to be a sport again.
by Tintinbrett 11 May '18

11 May '18

I stepped out of the shower just a little while ago (about 3:15), and realized there was quite a loud children row coming from behind my home in Costar way. Suddenly a rock came flying through the open back door, bounces off my cupboards, and lands on my kitchen floor. I run to the back door, and see further rocks raining down into my chicken pen. I let out my best disgruntled old fart; "Oi! Stop that you hellions!", and they scatter. Only one runs into view; a young, skinny white girl with long blond hair, I would guess about 9 or 10. She bolts through my neighbours yard, and out to Mellon Street. As I said; I had just stepped out of the shower, so it took me a minute to wipe shaving soap off my face, and pull on enough clothes to be seen in public with, but, of course; they were all long gone. However; this explains a few things: I have been finding unexplained rocks on my deck, yard, and paths lately, but given we have chickens figured perhaps they were responsible. Also; we have repeatedly returned home to find our back gate open, and twice recently; to find the chickens had been let out. I shall, of course; be more vigilant now, but given that this involves deliberate animal cruelty, and the fact that had I been working at the sink; I would have been hit, or that had the door been closed (and it is 3/4 glass); it would have been broken: I'm sure you'll understand when I say that next time, my first call will be to the police. I'm sure all my neighbours take time to explain why being cruel to animals is wrong, and to be respectful of people's property, but clearly some kids are leading others astray, and into bad behaviour. Please make sure your kids aren't being led down the wrong path, you don't want me turning up on your doorstep; I might not be in such a hurry to get dressed next time. Cheer Brett Sent from my iPad

Missing Dog Found - Older Golden Retriever
by DeeCee 11 May '18

11 May '18

Hello, Earlier this evening, while walking our dog we were approached by a blonde woman driving a black SUV who was looking for her older golden retriever who had escaped earlier in the day in Highland Park - she said he had short hair and was hard of hearing. His name is Gus. We did not get her contact information, but we recently saw a post on Facebook saying that Animal Control took the dog to the Hamilton Shelter. The post is here: Please share so we can return Gus to his owners!

Any ideas on how to get the city to come prune trees?
by Meg 10 May '18

10 May '18

There are a couple of city trees that have been growing into my property and onto my porch and windows. I have been trying to get forestry to come out and prune them for literally over four years. I have called forestry dozens of times, I have submitted multiple 311 requests by phone and on the app. I have contacted Deb Gross, who told me to submit another 311 request, and I called the mayors office and got the same thing. My roofer trimmed back the ones dangling into my porch gutter twice, but the other tree is still scraping up against my house. I have had bugs in the house as a result. I would appreciate any advice that will help get this done. Thanks. Meg
