I've been skimming the Above Rubies site, and I just found this great article about the importance and nutritional/health value of grinding fresh grains to make your own bread.

Here's the link:

I have been looking into grinding my own grain for a few months now, but I haven't been quite ready. I need to get motivated, plus grinders are so costly. This article has really inspired me to start grinding my own grain.

Well, I've found a hand grinder that is $50. Or, I also realized that my MIL has a Vitamix, which she said I could come over and use, and I believe I can grind grains in it.

So I've got to do a little more research to find out what all is involved and what I need to know to start. I also need to find a source for grains in my area. As far as I know I'll have to drive at least an hour to get grains, and I'm not sure of a specific location, although I'm thinking Whole Foods Market or Central Market would likely have it.

Anyway...read the article if you haven't already. Maybe it will inspire you as well.

And if you have any tips for me, I would love to hear them.
