The owner carrying a sack of corn ready to be grined into corn flour with his son on the left. The family is very passionated about their mill and are trying to revive it after it was abandoned for a long time. Unfortunatelly a lot of work has to be done, which could last a couple of years and will cost a lot of money. Still the family is optimistic and tries to do most of the work on their own, little by little.

The old homestead by the river is lively during the summer, when a lot of tourist and locals come to bathe at the nearest beach. The mill, the sawmill and the old house seem abandoned during the cold season, but infact they are very much alive. A lot of repairing and maintaining has to be done before spring begins.

The owners like to share the history of the mill and often display all the cereals and products that can be used at their mill and also grind some fresh flour for the locals.
