The process
The stone ground flour produced at Walk Mill begins it's life when the milling wheat seed is planted in the fields surrounding the mill.
Over the following months it grows until is ready to harvest
The harvest is done using a combine harvester, with the wheat being taken from the combine harvester back to the farm where the grain is cleaned.
Using the water in the River Gowy the mill wheel turns, which causes all the gears inside the mill building to turn, eventually turning the mill stones and the damsel which chatters away in the centre of the top stone 'knocking' the wheat into the mill stones.
As the mill stones turn the wheat works its way to the outside of the stones, but by the time is has reached the outside of the stones it has been ground into flour. The flour is then sifted to produce different grades required by, and bagged up ready for sale, or to be used in the Millers Kitchen.
