Wheat is a staple ingredient in many foods and this is why it is important to have it on hand.

Buckets of stored wheat is a common sight in a prepper’s food pantry. A single 5-gallon bucket of wheat holds about 47,000 calories; it can produce about 25 loaves of bread, and will store for decades.
The thing is — you can’t make bread if you can’t mill the wheat to flour.
‘Manual’ or ‘Hand’ operated Flour Mills
The ‘Country Living Hand Grain Mill’ is one of the best, and it’s actually ‘Made in the USA’. I like the fact that it has a pulley so you can adapt another method of turning it other than ‘elbow grease’. It is expensive. But it will survive Armageddon and if Armageddon doesn’t happen it will survive many generations.
Electric Flour Mills
Note that a hand operated flour mill will take lots of ‘elbow grease’ and time to grind wheat to flour compared to an electric mill. For those who have the luxury of excess funds, you might consider one of each…
Two quality electric flour mills, both similarly priced:
NutriMill Classic Grain Mill
WonderMill Grain Mill

I wish I could tell you which one was best for you but I cannot. That is your call, however, I will say to keep in mind that a hand powered mill is harder to break and does not require electricity to run.

That said, old mills were often merely a round stone that you rolled like a wheel in a stone groove filled with wheat berries. Or they were a large mortar and pestle.

If you want, install a windmill or water wheel on your property to power your old mill. Then you can produce on a large scale, meaning you’ve now got a tradeable skill.
