Giveaway – WonderMill Wonder Junior Hand Grain Mill CLOSED

by

handmill-baseThe winner of the Wonder Junior is Robin Ingram! She said, “I would like to have this because it is good for food storage/emergency preparedness, especially in situations of power loss. Also, I like that it is a smaller mill. Seems easy for daily grinding. I have been trying to make my own bread, and would like to start making use of the hard wheat that I have gotten from the cannery. This would be a great addition to my emergency preparedness in my home.”

Congratulations Robin! Send an email to kelsey[at]vanillajoy[dot]com with your address to claim your prize.

THE PRIZE

One reader will win the WonderMill Wonder Junior Hand Grain Mill ($220).

MY REVIEW

Since reading Eat This, Not That!, Organically Raised, and a handful of other whole grain cook books, I have realized how important it is, especially for my kids, to incorporate more whole grains into our diet. The only way I can do that is to replace my white flour with whole wheat, grind it myself, and use it in my every day cooking.

I thought I would use a grain mill mostly for wheat, but since I got a WonderMill Wonder Junior, I use it all the time for little things like oatmeal and other fruit and grain baby cereals, pancakes, and whatever else I’m baking. I love to grind up 1/2 c. oatmeal or millet or flax seed and throw it into my sweet breads, muffins, or rolls.

HAND WHEAT GRINDER

The great thing about the WonderMill Wonder Junior is that you can set it up in your pantry or kitchen and leave it there for easy access. If it’s in your kitchen, you’ll use it, and that means you’ll be eating healthier.

wonder junior hand grain mill

The Wonder Junior is a heavy duty machine with a one-piece body made of all metal parts and a large hopper that holds over 1 quart. The dual clamp is wide and strong and will securely hold to surfaces up to 2 inches thick. There are pads on the underside of the clamp and a flat surface on top so you can be sure the clamp won’t scratch your counter tops, table, or other work surface.

The handle is 10 inches long and very easy to turn, so you can put your kids to work too!

The hopper is octagonal in shape which makes it easier to fill without spilling. It also has a dual feed auger which means the grains pass more smoothly from the hopper through the grinding stones.

The standard Wonder Junior comes with stone grinding burrs that are meant for dry grains, seeds, corn, beans, etc. And the knob on the front of the grinding stones is for easy texture adjustment. You can adjust the tightness of the stones to get really fine flour,  course cracked grains, or anything in between.

Recently I spoke to the owner of a local home preparedness store about the Wonder Junior and a lower quality hand grain mill and she said the thing that makes the Wonder Junior the best grinder available is how fine it grinds and how quickly. The grinding stones are larger than other brands and the handle is longer meaning you get more results for your effort.

Also available for this hand grain mill are stainless steel burrs for grinding dry grains plus oily foods like peanuts, soybeans, sunflower seeds, poppy seeds, coffee beans, etc, so you can make your own completely natural nut butters.

This morning I put 1/2 c. oatmeal into the Wonder Junior for Gus’s breakfast cereal. After about 3 minutes of turning, I had a fine flour to cook and make into oatmeal cereal.

That’s definitely slower than pouring it from a box or even using an electric mill, but it’s more convenient for small batches and is a good few minutes of arm workout in the morning.  And if the power ever goes out, you can still make breads and cereals and whatever else you’d like!

hand operated grain mills

There are two main reasons I love having a Wonder Junior:

  1. Everyday small batch use
  2. Long term emergency preparedness

So far I love the Wonder Junior because I use it in my regular food preparation, but if the power were ever to go out for even a few days, a Wonder Junior would mean I could still feed my family things that we’re used to eating.

My husband and I have really been focusing on getting our family prepared for all kinds of emergencies or natural disasters, and a hand grain mill is one of the must-haves of emergency preparedness.

She has webinars for people out of this area that are very informative and helpful in starting and continuing household emergency preparation.

Thanks Wonder Mill!

  13. I would love to win the wondermill junior (thanks for the giveaway!) – I’ve been interested in grinding some of my own grains for bread and other things (which would also make some great blog posts, no? ;) ) I’d love to add this to my arsenal for cooking/food prep to help provide more healthy things for my family!

  34. I would love to win this food mill! We’ve been talking for a while about needing a hand mill in the case of a power outage, and also because I love preparing fresh baby food, but it’s such a hassle to use the electric mill for such small amounts!

  43. We are also trying to eat more whole grains and I’ve been trying to get more long-term storage for preparedness. That looks like the perfect thing to have on hand! Plus I have a baby who is just starting to eat regular food and I love to make my own baby food, so it would be perfect for grinding up cereal grains so I don’t have to ruin my blender doing it.

  45. I have a Bosch mixer that I got this year. It has been great to make more homemade baked goods with the mixer but I would love to have a grain mill to make my own fresh whole wheat flour, my mom has one and her bread always tastes so much better than mine and the store bought bread. I sure hope I win, if I don’t I may buy one later this year anyway cause I really want one.

  52. I make my own babyfood but I’ve never tried to make my own grains for my child. I would love to be able to do so, plus it would allow me to grind up my foodstorage wheat that I have, but have no way to grind.

  68. Make a comment on this post telling me why you’d like to win before midnight Sunday, August 22.

    Answer: Our grinder is plum worn out, and I have corn drying. We grow heirloom varieties of corn for grinding. We make fresh corn meal to use in recipes. Freshly ground corn makes the best cornbread. Yummy! We also grow other grains for grinding like: Quinoa, Amaranth and Wheat. My grand kids love the baked goods made from the grains, and they love to help me grind. We have found ourselves in much better health since we’ve been home grinding our own grains.

  145. It’s amusing. I didn’t just want a grain mill, but this exact grain mill because it’s reviews are good and I grind a large variety of grains. In fact, due to allergies, the one grain that won’t ever go through a mill that I own would be wheat. So here’s fingers crossed for good luck.

    Reply

  147. New to long term storage, but I just ordered 100 lbs. of wheat and this mill is sure needed right now. In order to save up to purchase this it would take me 3 months or longer. Kellene pointed me to your blog and I’ve subscribed. Your review was terrific, thanks for the info

  148. I would love to win this as I have wheat in my storage and do not have a grinder yet. I am trying to pay cash for everything and save, so if I were to win the Wonder Junior, I could use the cash I’ve set aside for more food storage staples. :o)

  154. I’m really glad to have found your review on this grain mill. I own The Family Grain Mill hand-crank mill and I only just this morning finally got it out of my “preparedness stash” to set up and try. I’m psyched! I would like to add an additional mill for back up and this seems like a possibility. I am requesting to not be entered into the free giveaway because I can probably afford to buy this whereas I’m sure there are many readers who cannot. Good luck to the lucky winner!

  166. Please enter me in the giveaway. I just made my first meal with whole wheat – blender waffles – and I would love to have a grinder so I could have other ways to use it. What’s the use of having lots of wheat if there’s not much you can do with it?

  175. This grinder would be a great addition to my kitchen. I’ve been using coffee grinders (on my fifth one already) to process grains for my breads and such. I love baking, but with the nutrition-less flours on the market, one has to add the nutrition back in with whole grains.

    Reply

  176. I would like to win your grain mill for three primary reasons: so I can teach my kids the strategic value of using whole grains and beans in an everyday way as a part of a healthy lifestyle, secondly to tactically promote healthy eating, and lastly to instruct them in preparations and techniques for prospering in lean times. Your mill looks compact, functional, reasonably priced, and the robustness will be shown in its use. My local agent is Homegrown Harvest in Kennesaw, GA. Thank you!

  179. The reason why I would “like to win before midnight Sunday, August 22” is because after I’ll be competing with several hundred other posts!

    …and because my pig died, and thats a pretty sad thing once you really think about it. Now that should get a few tears flowing, and did I mention that I love cracked wheat and mixed grain cereals for breakfast? So I would truely be the happiest recipient.

    …and if thats not enough, lets make this the gift that keeps on giving. If I win the grinder, I’ll give one of your fans on this site:
    1) $1000 worth of brand new craft items/ornaments (viewable at http://www.aastorage.com/craft )

  184. Hi Kelsey !
    Thank you sooo much for all of your efforts on our behalf ! You have done an excellent job expounding on the virtues of the Wonder Jr.Mill . I have spent over a year reviewing both electric and hand mills and had chosen the Wonder Jr. Mill for eventual purchase. I’m a grandmother of eight and mother of four . I became disabled seven years ago after a surgery and poured myself into gardening , food storage , getting my Master Food Preserver certification and trying to help educate all of those around me. I still have many things on my “List” of things to get and I would feel so blessed if I were chosen as the recipient of your Wonder Jr. Mill . Thank you again for your gifts of knowledge.

  187. I love the longer handle. I have shoulder problems and have been looking for a hand-grinder that would work for me and I think this may be it. It also grinds the grain up so much finer than a lot of other hand-grinders on the market. Thanks for your demo video.

We’ve felt strongly about improving our emergency food store and preparation and have been storing whole grains which we have to take to my in-laws to grind. If we win this, we would be more self sufficient. My wife already makes breads using our own wheat flour, so this would be a perfectly complementary addition to our kitchen!

IT has all the features that are necessary for a easy use, long life unit. The variety of textures and ability to grind a variety of grains etc. make it the best we have ever found. It will be fun to show the ward the best we have found.

  208. As a 20 year retired veteran of the US Army, who did a bit of required traveling and has finally settled down — my husband and I are working on getting back to basics by stocking up on long term storage food items as well as purchasing the equipment to help with the preparation of them.

    I would love to add the WonderMill grinder to my ever growing preparedness collection — I absolutely love to cook and bake and the mill would be used almost on a daily basis. Our small garden has provided our family with enough food so that I am able to do some canning to keep on hand for any upcoming emergencies. We are also doing a lot of dehydrating this year thanks to the specials at the local produce market. We have recently purchased a few bags of whole wheat berries and have been hoping to grind them to try in my almost famous bread recipes.

    We have 3 young grand-children and introducing them to whole grain products have been very important to everyone — we figure if they grow up with whole grains they will never miss the white grocery store sponge they call bread. The mill would really help us, because the cost of whole wheat flour limits us on how much we of our baking includes whole wheat.

    The mill would also be used for making farina, ground rice, and cornmeal — as well as many other wonderful foods.

    Thank you for your consideration. Have a great day! : )

    The mill would also be used for making many wonderful foods.

    Thank you for your consideration. Have a great day! : )

  217. The reason I’d love to have this mill is that I LOVE the concept of it being hand ground. If I were to need to use my wheat in an emergency, there is a chance there would be no power either, so it would be such a relief to know I could still make flour.

  223. The quality of this grinder is the best on the market for small portion daily use. Its size and easy mount makes the difference between intending to use whole grains and actually doing it! We have 4 college age children who use whole grains. This is perfect for them and their roommates to use, as it takes up so little space, and is so effective. Won’t they have fun with the wonder junior at their cooking parties! This is the right way to save money, eat healthy, and be prepared.

    Thanks, Diane Henry

  270. Why I would love to win this hand grinder:
    *It’s the missing link in my kitchen preparation.
    *Our kitchen cupboards are an extension of our pantry of whole grains.
    *We bake from scratch- pancakes, bread (for almost a year), cereal.
    *It would get almost daily use at my house.
    *There is a perfect place for, set up, out it in my kitchen.
    *We believe in whole grains and a high fiber diet.
    *This grinder would perfectly accommodate our small food budget.
    Thank you for offering such a great kitchen tool as your give-away. Wow.

  271. I have just committed myself to get my food storage set up and this is one that I need for our long term food storage and who knows? maybe i’ll use it every day too. Thanks for the give away.

  276. I’ve wanted a hand grinder for years. We eat homemade bread from home-ground flour and the idea we wouldn’t have access to that in an emergency is awful!

  284. Looks awesome! There are definitely times I’d rather use something smaller to grind my wheat, and I STILL don’t have anything I could use for a back up in an emergency if the power is out.

  287. Love it. Been working at weight loss and healthier eating. So far have lost 91 pounds. This would make adding more grains to my diet so much easier. Thanks for your post.

  293. oops-I forgot to put why I would like to win. I want to be able to make my own healthy cereals and bread. I have a lot of food intolernces, and this would really help. I like that it is manual-I live in a rural area and we lose power a lot.

  304. I’ve been trying very hard lately to get our family eating healthy, incorporating whole grains and fresh fruits and veggies. Also trying to get our food storage and emergency supplies stocked up & in order so that we can be prepared. This would definitely help me w/ both of things, so of course, I’d love to win!

  305. I would love to own a WonderMill because I don’t have a wheat grinder already, and I need one! I use wheat flour in my cooking already, but it’s store bought, and expensive. I’d rather make my own and take out the middle man.

  306. I am saving money to buy a grain mill but would love to put the savings toward another food storage/preparedness item and win this! :) i bake my family’s bread every week & would put this to good use. :)

  317. I grew up with my mom grinding her own wheat for bread. The taste of her homemade bread, right out of the oven, with a little butter and honey makes me feel like a million bucks. I want my kids to have that feeling!

  319. I’ve always kept extra food stuffs on hand but have recently become concerned with the state of affairs we’ve found ourselves in as a nation. I would love a wonder mill grain mill as I have slowly began to step up my food storage to long term. This would also allow my family to eat healthier and more economically. Thanks for a great giveaway and web.

  321. I would love to win this mill because, like you, I am trying to get my family more prepared for emergencies and power outages. We live in the Cascade foothills so there have been a few times when we’ve been trapped here due to flooding (there’s only 2 ways out of town and then both usually flood every year). Thanks.

  330. I would like to have this grinder because I love how you can do ‘wet’ things like make your own peanut butter. Who needs all the extra salt and sugar that comes in the store bought stuff?!

  343. I have recently decided that making fresh bread and reducing the processed foods in my families diet is better. If I had this I could grind my grains and add it into the food. Thanks for the wonderful blog. I stumbled upon it through someone else and have enjoyed all the different things you have to offer. I am definanlty going to try your tomitlla salsa recipe this next weeek.

  352. I received a WonderMill for Christmas this past year and I love it!Unfortuntately it is packed up in a box as we are waiting for our move. I would love the manual grinder. I don’t have one and it would be a great addition to my eating healthier and more simply journey.

  355. (My closest distributor is in Milwaukee, WI) What an awesome giveaway!

    Earlier this year I had an epiphany regarding the food I was feeding my family. In an attempt to stick to a budget, I had made a huge mistake and sacrificed the quality of the food I was putting on the table. Too much processed junk & not enough of the real stuff.

    Horrified, I have worked hard to undo that way of thinking & doing!

    I immediately purged the boxes of processed “food” from my shelves. I replaced them with bulk quinoa, lentils, brown rice, dried beans, whole wheat flour, etc. When our twins began eating solids, I made 100% of all their babyfood. I believe that it is important to buy locally grown food. Even organic when deemed neccesary. I have commited to food storage & regular meal planning.

    Having a grain mill would be a wonderful addition to my kitchen “arsenal”…and our family’s new found Healthy Food Manifesto!

    Thanks for your consideration!

    For my birthday my darling husband purchased a Bosch mixer to support our Food Manifesto!

    I’ve been purchasing the best whole wheat flour that I can afford, but there are so many reasons why I would love to be able to grind my own flour. Saving money, not using rancid bagged flour, having the luxury of grinding other grains: oatmeal, spelt, quinoa, etc.

  364. I’d love to win a grain mill. I’ve been looking at them online for a few months now. We live in the foothills of the Cascades and have been trapped a couple of times due to flooding. The past year I have been working at getting my home and pantry more emergency ready. Thanks

  372. we are team organizers of a Preparedness Project in Central MS, Each team works together to have and share resources at our location. This Grinder would be a great contribution for the complete team if we ever have to ‘bug out’ and work the process to have food and grains for our loved ones.

    Thank you for the offer!

  373. I would love one of these. I have been trying to get more prepared. I do my own canning and freezing, and this is one of the things I still need to get along with the wheat so I can grind my own flour and such.
    This would be awesome.

  374. I would love this!! We have begun our food storage and realized that wheat doesn’t do you much good without a grain mill :).

  377. I LOVE my Wondermill but I know that I need a handcrank mill as well if I want to be fully prepared in the case of an emergency, i.e., electrical outage. I am new to foodstorage and preparing for disaster but I am getting there and I am having fun learning!

  378. I have had some experiences with power outages due to ice storms and tornadoes. I have a want list for emergency preparedness and the grain mill would be a perfect addition.

  379. I have just begun with food storage about a year ago. I am 59 years old with a 63 old husband. We have children and grandchild that will look to us for help if disaster hits. I have a “Corona” because it was what I could afford. I would love to win the Wonder Mill Jr. and would feel so much more confident in my food storage preparedness. I have been learning to use the Global Sun Oven and haven’t used my real oven all summer to save money. I also use a clothes line now. Thank you.

  383. My family is working on our preps, and we have buckets of grain, but no grain mill yet! My hubby just lost his job and I’m only working part-time. This give-away would give me piece of mind that another item is crossed off the list and I can start making my own flour. Would love it!

  396. I would like to win the grain mill to not only help with food prep, but to help involve my children with the old fashioned ways of making food. These days children have no idea how or where food comes from and therefore take it for granted. This is wonderful! Thanks!

  397. I would like to have this because it is good for food storage/emergency preparedness, especially in situations of power loss. Also, I like that it is a smaller mill. Seems easy for daily grinding. I have been trying to make my own bread, and would like to start making use of the hard wheat that I have gotten from the cannery. This would be a great addition to my emergency preparedness in my home.

  401. Wow, i had no idea that these were still made, and on a small scale for homes, until I came across your blog. Besides the obvious, emergency preparedness, and living off the grid, how fun would it be to share this clever device with my kids. Something about hand-cranked devices make us smile. Salads get spun, onions are chopped, and now grain can be ground. Yea! – Crystal

  436. Wow! What a great opportunity. Thanks for offering it. I have been into food storage for a few years but have gone the freeze-dried route. I have been purchasing wheat and other basics in bulk and have been looking for a grinder as I believe my family could eat healthier by preparing our own food. Yes, I’m now looking into canning. :-)

  440. I Visited TheWonderMill.com and the closest retailer to me is in Edmond, OK.

  443. I could use this because that is the only part of my food storage that I don’t have. If the power goes out I won’t be able to use my stored wheat or other grains.

  449. I would like to try eating food with more value to it. I think this grinder just may do the trick. If it does, I will try to arrange selling some of them on my company website, bearmountainscientific.com.
    I have been wanting to take such a step for a long while. Perhaps now is the time.

  456. I would love to win. We have been eating healthier since we found out my daughter is allergic to gluten, dairy and soy. This would be great to make flour for her pancakes and bread and so many other things. Food is so much healthier when made from scratch at home and cheaper too.

  472. the closest to me is in NH, the next state over-but I think this would be great for food storage and emergency preparedness here in the Northeast. There are times in the winter we get ice storms and power goes out. It’s best to be prepared and I have been learning alot trying to get ready. This will make a wonderful and useful addition to my preparedness supplies.

  479. I have a large electric WonderMill and love it! This would be great for many things, but I’m thinking I’d use it most when we travel and I don’t want to lug around a big mill.

    P.S. Have you ever ground popcorn? It makes super yummy corn bread!

  480. I’m a little surprised there’s not a dealer closer than 1 1/2 hours away from me. Oh well.

    Would LOVE to have this little gem. The ancient grinder that I have has stones, and I can’t do any oily things in it. Have wanted to do beans in it to make bean flour for a long time, but afraid it would gum up my stones. This would be perfect.

    We recently moved to the country and had to downsize. This would fit perfectly in my little kitchen:)
