Yes I agree- co-owning is a great way to share expenses, and also not to needlessly buy things that are not going to be used daily! I think the Pittsfield township Grange talked about having access to several shared grain mills as well, and I think they do a cider press day in the Fall! Will you friend me on facebook? I'm having trouble finding you :)Arikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05929676015333330815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7814470116729267543.post-47258550063565224492012-05-07T13:03:57.650-04:002012-05-07T13:03:57.650-04:00Dying to hear how the grain milling goes.

I'd like to get into more co-owning of the more expensive tools -- like how bout a shared cider press? Sigh...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11489261419789940650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7814470116729267543.post-56014688234287295442012-04-13T11:38:50.682-04:002012-04-13T11:38:50.682-04:00Yes that is funny that we have a similar list of &...Yes that is funny that we have a similar list of "essentials"! :) What's your favorite thing to can with the pressure canner?<br /><br />The grain mill I'm looking at is this one: the Family Grain Mill, with the hand base rather than the electric base. I like the idea of grinding the grain by hand! http://www.pleasanthillgrain.com/family_grain_mills.aspx. When I get it, I'll let you know how it does- and it's a great idea to look at Ebay- I'll do that, thanks! :)Arikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05929676015333330815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7814470116729267543.post-88037991749269705282012-04-12T19:43:49.824-04:002012-04-12T19:43:49.824-04:00I love your list, and I think it's funny that ...I love your list, and I think it's funny that I either have or want the same items! Hubby got me the 23 qt pressure canner for Christmas, and I love it. I also have the skillet (bought it in college and never used it til recently - silly me) , and a pasta maker. I am on the lookout for an inexpensive, handcranked grain mill, so please write a review if you get one. Have you checked eBay? I got my food processor, bread machine, and sausage stuffer/fruit press there for much less than new...Dihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18104702949280004678noreply@blogger.com
