GIVEAWAY OVER
The winner is Melissa- melizajane20@
I sent you an email.
I am so excited about this review and giveaway.
Before going gluten free I loved baking and made all kinds of things. I even ground my own flour and loved the benefits of fresh ground whole wheat, but then gluten free eating entered my life. Grinding my own flour was no longer an option and my flour mill was set aside and eventually given away to a friend of mine.
Recently though I was contacted by WonderMill about reviewing their mill for grinding gluten free flours. I can not tell you how excited I was for a chance to grind my own gluten free flours.
I started with grinding my own rice flours and tried them in three gluten free recipes that I have made many times. I made my chocolate chip cookies, my pizza crust, and in our new favorite pancake and the rice flours I ground myself worked perfectly. I could not tell a difference at all.
You can read my full review of the WonderMill and gluten free flours in my allergy section. And whether or not you are gluten free I really encourage you to read my review. I am impressed with the WonderMill and how it works.
The WonderMill is great for grinding all kinds of things not just gluten free flours. You can use this for wheat, corn, and various other things. This mill would be great for anyone wanting to give grinding their own flours a try.
And the good news is that the great people at WonderMill not only sent me a mill to try, they are giving away a mill to one of my readers!
Yes, one of you will win a WonderMill!

Disclaimer: I was given a free WonderMill to review, but my thoughts and opinions are my own.
I would love to try grinding my own flour, I have wanted to for a few years now!
I have wheat storage, but no means of grinding yet. I’ve heard Wondermill is the best, but it’s also rather expensive, so I haven’t been able to get one yet.
I have just found out I’m gluten intolerant. My current mill is contanimanted and I so wish I could afford a new mil so I could grind my own flours again. I pray that I’m so blessed as to win this mill that I want so badly for my family as I make breads and goodies for myself, some of my children and grandchildren who are also gluten-free.
Love your sites Lynn! I have wanted for a long time to grind my own flours to reap the health benefits of freshly ground. I have been struggling recently with some ‘tummy trouble’ and am experimenting a little to see if a gluten sensitivity may be part of my issue. Being able to grind small batches of different flours to try would be a great way to experiment with recipes and substitutions too.
I have considered getting one of these but it has not been in the budget. Thanks for the opportunity!!
What a great giveaway! I have been hoping to start grinding my own flour for both myself and other members of my family (that way we can share bulk wheat berry cost as well as storage space). This would be a great way to get started.
I love to bake! Grinding my own flour has always interested me, since I use a lot of flour. I’m very interested in trying out different types of grains and increasing the nutritional value of my baked goods for my family and friends. I’d love to win this!!! 🙂
I would love to have a Wondermill in my gluten free baking adventures. Gluten free baking is very pricey but so yummy :0) Grinding my own flour would help keep the cost down.
I would love to own one of these. I have been dreaming of a grain mill for some time now as we love homemade bread.
OMGOsh would that be a fabulous addition to my kitchen!!!! What a great giveaway! I LOVE your blog! Thanks so much for the entry!
I love making homemade bread…well, I love EATING homemade bread. I’ve never made bread with fresh-ground flour though, but I’ve heard it’s fabulous.
Oooo, I would LOVE to grind my own flour. This is a healthy baby step I haven’t taken yet, but I hear that freshly ground flour has many more nutrients than the stuff that has sat on store shelves forever.
I would absolutely LOVE to try out this mill! I’ve been reading up on grinding my own flours and I’m giddy to try it! I also believe that my children would LOVE to join in on this activity! Already have my almost 23month old son helping to grind cornmeal in the coffee grinder! 😉 It’s one of his favorite jobs! Not nearly as productive as if I had a mill though! LOL!
This would be great! I just started to learn that I feel much better on a gluten free diet. I could try so many new recipes with this.
I would love to try this!! I have been making my own coconut milk and would love to make coconut flour.
Would love this and so would my chef-to-be 11 year old daughter. She does everything “the hard way” from scratch! HAHAH
Stacy
This is really awesome. I have not taken the plunge to grind my own flour yet, but really want to start!
Several of my friends have a WonderMill and they absolutely rave about it. I make homemade bread, but I just used store bought wheat flour. I would love to own one so I could mill my own flour. There is a Bread Beckers co-op in my area, so I’d be able to get supplies to start right away.
I would love this! I have a budding chef (3 yrs old) and want to have her learn the “right” way to cook – traditionally, not the go pick your ingredients up at the store and throw it together kind of cooking. She has a blast knowing where all the ingredients come from and making the flour herself would be icing on the cake so to speak.
I have been wanting one of these for so long! We have been eating healthier around here for awhile now, so winning one of these would help us in grinding our own flours. Thanks for the opportunity!
I would love to win this.
I would love to win a Wondermill. I have been wanting to grind my own flour for a while since I don’t like the whole wheat they sell in the stores.
I have a friend who grinds her own flour at home. I would love to give it a try. Thanks for the great giveaway!!
I have always wanted to grind my own flour but never was able to get get a mill!!! I would LOVE to win this! Thank you for the opportunity!
I would love to have one but the price has kept me from getting one right now. I’d love to be able to grind my own hard white wheat flour! I have heard fantastic things about freshly ground flour and am super excited to try it!
Grinding my own flour is something I’ve wanted to try for several years now. Hopefully, it will lead to overall healthier meal plans. Thank you for offering this!
I have never grounded my own flour but I would love to try it. I would love to use it because I think that I am becoming allergic to gluten and if I could experiment with my own flour grinding etc it would help out alot besides be more cost effective for our already finacially struggling family. Thank you for the offer !
Dear Lynn,
I presented the WonderMill to my husband a while back, but he’s not as enthusiastic about it as I am. So, the WonderMill has been on my “dream on” wish list on Amazon for over a year now.
I wish I could tell you in person what happened around here these past couple of years. My sister’s old high school psychology book states that stress is the underlying cause of all diseases. This has proven true in my life. In August 2009, my mother ended up in the hospital with head trauma from an accident on a tour bus and died a slow death. I was told that a person’s hearing is the last to go. So, I stayed by her side every other day (taking turns with my dad/sister) and kept telling my mom to hang in there and that she’ll be fine. The nurses told me that my mom would wake up from her artificially induced sleep and be fine, so I hung on to that hope. After she died, almost anything would cause me to go into tears. My eyes were nearly swollen shut and I could barely sleep thinking about my mom. To compound matters, I didn’t have an appetite to eat much for weeks. I felt like a walking zombie living inside a daydream. Then, my husband told me that he lost his job. A few weeks later, I came down with 3 permanent diseases….Thyroid Disease, IC, and Celiac Disease. My husband and I tried interviewing for jobs, but nothing came our way for quite a while. Then, we found ourselves in a situation where we could no longer pay for our house. I just kept praying day and night for my husband, for our young kids, and for our family. Then, nothing short of a miracle happened…very long story, but I can tell you through e-mail if you would like to provide me with your e-mail address.
Also, one of my daughters has food allergies (nut, dairy, soy, corn, and more). I couldn’t figure out what we could eat as a family because the breads and snacks on the regular supermarket shelves either have wheat, soy, or corn in them. The solution for our family was rice as our primary staple.
And since baking is my absolute favorite hobby (please see my post under Gluten-Free Bread Machine Bread), stapling that with the WonderMill to make my very own rice flour is truly a dream come true for me.
I have wanted to grind my own flour for years but have never managed to find the extra money to buy a grinder. I look forward to vacations with my sister in law who has a grinder and generously will grind us a couple of bags of different flours to take home.
Wow! I would love to try grinding my own flours! How fun! Thanks for the chance to win!
Thankfully, my other daughter is only intolerant to dairy. : )
I have never ground my own flours but would love to try! Sounds awesome!
I would love the opportunity to try a grain mill. Thank you and WonderMill for this exciting opportunity!
Thanks for this timely review! I’ve been following your blog for some time, but just (and I mean JUST) found out I need to be gluten free. I was shopping for a grain mill before, but needing to do gluten free has me mentally whipped… Thanks so much for a useful suggestion!!
Ooh… I have a mill, but it isn’t working. I would love to try a Wonder Mill. We miss our freshly ground grains!
I love to bake and have been wanting to grind my own fresh flour. Plus, my birthday is coming up so it would be a great present!
What an awesome giveaway! I love would love to try this mill. It would go along great with the Zoji bread machine I got for Christmas a couple of years ago!
I’ve always wanted a grinder to make healthier bread. 🙂
We’re GF for hubby and youngest son. I’d love to have this grinder to make bread more cheaply.
I would love having my own grinder. Gluten free flours can be so expensive and hard to find fresh. I have wanted to make my own for a while.
I have been wanting to start grinding my own flours. The only thing stopping me right now is the lack of funds to buy a mill.
My daughter has celiac disease. She didn’t know until she was out on her own. I am always looking for new things to do with gluten free products. This would be a great thing to use to have flour on hand when she is here to visit. I could have some flours on hand and would be able to make something she and have. It is so hard to plan a meal that she can have and everyone else will also eat. I was looking for a site that has regular mixes that I can make and have on hand and saw you also have gluten free mixes. Ya!!!!! Store gluten free mixes can be expensive and not always very good.
I have wanted to try grinding my own flour for so long, but I had no idea how to do it or where to start. This looks great!
Hi Lynn. I am gluten free also (3 1/2 yrs now) and I had no idea we could grind our own flours to bake with! I use a lot of your recipes so this would be wonderful. 🙂 Thanks!
twould be wonderful to be able to use this mill and grind gluten free flours…
Most of the recipe blogs I follow are written by people who grind their own flours and write about how much they love it and how great it is. I also know that the store bought flour could have been ground quite awhile ago, which means it has lost some nutrients and likely even some flavor. I would love to give grinding my own flour a try, but cannot afford the financial purchase at this time.
I’d love to set the mill up as a means to get our Mothers of Preschooler group grinding their own grain. It could be a shared resource since the expense of a mill isn’t in their budget!
It would be great to be able to grind my own flour. I have not been able to make room in our budget for a grinder. I have read how awesome the Wonder Mill is. It would be wonderful to have one!
Lynn thanks for sharing your review of the Wondermill. After a recent Cancer scare I am being much more selective on what goes into my body. I would love to start grinding my own flour so that I can use organic grains and control what goes into my recipes. Thanks for all your great info.
My husband has been nagging me to try a gluten-free lifestyle. I would love to be able to provide fresh, wholesome alternatives.
I am fortunate enough to have a mother in law with a wheat grinder. I have used it a ton while living with her. I grind my hard wheat to make wholesome bread for my family. (Helps me feel like I am doing at least SOMETHING special to be a good mommy and wife). We are moving into our own house (FINALLY!!) in the next month and I really really would LOVE to have a grain mill of my own.
I would so so so love to win this. My family will not baked goods using store bought whole wheat flour. I know the texture is better if you grind you own. I am just dying to try it!
I have just started to make most of the bread that we eat and would love to grind my own floor to make it even healthier.

Would love to try a wondermill. I am using grinder on my Kitchen Aid, I have to run it through twice.
I would love a grain mill to mill all different flours but especially white whole wheat. I have heard from so many sources that freshly ground whole wheat flour used in recipes makes all the difference. Thanks for offering such a great giveaway!
I would love to try different grains and increase the nutritional value in what I make.
I have a son with Asperger’s and Tourette’s and we really need to eat better for his benefit. Grinding my own flour is on my wishlist, but cost prohibitive at the moment.
Thanks so much for this chance.
I would love to have a real grain grinder. I am shocked how much a quality grinder costs! While the grinder is not in our family budget, I have tried to use our blender to grind… and well… I was not very successful! 🙂
I would love to win this and try grinding my own grain as my family has been having a hard time lately with all the processed foods. I would love to get back to more *natural* cooking.
Oh, my heart! I am really looking forward to grinding my own flours eventually! We are looking into baking stuff for farmer’s markets and fairs in our area. There are SO many glutenous goods out there, and nothing for people with gluten free needs!
I love to bake, but haven’t taken the plunge to start grinding my own flours. I’ve recently become really conscience of what I’m feeding my family, and I think that grinding our own flour would help me feel even better about what I feed them.
I’m glad that you love this so much, and that it has helped with your GF eating. 😀
What an awesome giveaway! Thanks!
I would love to grind my own flour!! I’m an avid baker and I always feel like I’m cheating using store bought! I’d love a chance to be more aware of exactly what goes into my baked goods!
I want to feed my family healthier foods and try to use whole foods as much as possible. I would love to try grinding my own flours – I’ve never done that!
Grinding my own flour has always interested me. One of my fellow homeschool moms grinds her flour. She told me about the nutritional benefits of fresh flour vs. flour on the store shelf. I did not realize how much nutrients is lost from grinding and waiting for it to be purchased. I’m very interested in trying to increasing the nutritional value of my baked goods. Thank you for this opportunity to win this mill.
Wow! I am total siked! I think this is a great product and would love to have one for me and my family. This would be a nice healthy step to our busy journey. Thanks for giving us this opportunity to get one!
How cool! I went to the HEAV (Home Educators Assoc. of Virginia) Convention for the first time in 2010. I was intrigued to see these families coming out of the exhibit hall with these huge white buckets. Then someone told me it was grain that they would take home & grind themselves for baking. So I ventured back to the Bread Beckers corner & was amazed at all the grinding that was going on! And not just wheat either! I came home from the convention & told my husband I wanted a mill & wanted to start milling our own grain. He thought I’d lost my mind! After a lot of research we decided this would be something good for our family, however due to our budget issues we’ve not been able to afford a mill right now. It would amazing to be able to have one. Thank you for hosting the giveaway & whomever wins it will be very happy!
What a wonderful giveaway. It would be so fun to grind my own flour. Oh how I love to bake.
definitely would love to try grinding my own flours doing my best to serve my family the most healthy options I can. I grew up eating out of boxes and store cans, I am determined to do better for my family.
Oat flour, chickpea flour….how wonderful it would be to grind as much as I need when I need it. Thanks for the giveaway 🙂
A grain mill is at the top of my wish list and has been for a while. I would love to be able to grind my own flours when baking.
It would be amazing to win this!!! I’d love to grind my own flour as it is so much healthier!
Oh my goodness! This a great giveaway! I shared it with friends! If I win it, I will be giving it to my sister. 🙂
What a great giveaway! I have a KTech mill with issues. I would love to be able to replace it with a WonderMill. Thanks!
My daughter was recently diagnosed with gluten allergies. I would love to try grinding rice flours for her. Thanks
I would LOVE to try grinding my own flour – and trying different grains, too! THanks!
I have a Whispermill that is about 9 years old. Would love to have the Wondermill for when it finally dies, or to give me one of my kids as they leave the nest. Oldest sons just turned 20 and 18 on Saturday, so it’ll be sooner than I would like to think!
I would love to grind my own grains, the health benefits are amazing!!
I would probably give it to my daughter, but I sure would like to win one
We are about to add a few little boys to our family through adoption and I need to find ways to stretch my money as well as serve my family quality foods.
After losing both of my parents to cancer while in their 50’s, I really started paying more attention to what I was feeding my family and I started making more and more things from scratch. A grain mill has been on my “wish list” for a couple of years now, but have just not been able to afford one. But now, just last month, we were informed that my 12-year-old is considered “borderline” diabetic (there is a family history on hubby’s side) and in my research on the topic I am discovering that a gluten free diet may be what we need to put in place for him, so the mill would definitely be a blessing to have.
I’m a “from scratch” kind of gal and I would absolutely love to grind my own wheat flour. There is no way we can afford a quality mill anytime soon, so winning the giveaway would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for all of your efforts and time 🙂
I would LOVE to have a WonderMill! As a North Dakota wheat growing family farm, it would come in very hand.
I have been wanting one of these, but with my “wishlist” of other needs that I’ve been saving money for, this item is at the bottom. However……if I could WIN one, I’d be so happy & excited!!!
I never win anything, but it never hurts to leave a comment!! Love buying wheat berries and grinding my own flour…this looks like an amazing addition to any baking girls kitchen!! Thanks for the opportunity…what fun!
its really important to me to grind my own flours now because of health reasons. using a flour mill you have to turn is the pits so it cuts down on my wanting to cook like I should
I would love to grind my own flour. My goal is to switch our family to whole wheat flour and not have to use a combination of whole wheat and white. I read that freshly ground whole wheat flour is not as heavy as storebought whole wheat flour. I’ve also read about the nutritional benefits in freshly ground flour.
I have ground my own flours with a hand grinder before=not too fun. But fresh ground flour is sooo much better! I would so love to win this and use it for fresh baked bread!
I just started baking bread and I would like trying to grind my own flour,
I would love to have a wondermill! I’ve ground my own grain before. Love it!
Deb
I would love to try grinding flours. I have a bread machine that doesn’t get near enough usage. Maybe this would kickstart me baking again.
This would be a blessing. Love to make bread,but it doesnt love several family members. 🙁
Amazing!! We are a US military family living overseas and we don’t have access to such wonderful equipment locally! It would be wonderful to win and be able to give grinding my own flour a try. We are always working toward a more healthy diet for our family. Thanks for the opportunity!
DD is starting to eat more and more solid/table food and i’m really not liking the prices of the good bread out there in the market. Sure i’ll pay the price but what I really want to do is start making my own. If you had told me i’d be thinking about this a year ago before she was born I would have laughed and said you were crazy. Then my whole world changed when DD was born and now I look at everything differently.
I would love to grind my own flour. I have been wanting to try it, but I can’t afford one of these grinders.
Lynn,
I am finding your site so encouraging and helpful. My daughter has to avoid gluten, corn, soy, all artificial colors, additives and preservatives and artificial sweeteners. Needless to say, cooking can be a real challenge. I didn’t realize I could grind my own rice flour, that would be wonderful! Thanks for the encouragement you provide!
Lora
I love to bake and would love to branch out with freshly ground grains.
Since I already own a grain mill, I’m going to try to win this for one of my best friends. She has had to go gluten free because of a wheat allergy and recent diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis. She would love to own this and I think it would be quite helpful financially and from a health standpoint for her as well!
I’ve had this exact mill on my amazon wishlist forever, thanks for the chance to win one! Becca
I would love to be able to grind my own flours! We want to be more self-sufficient and I have heard about all the benefits for helping my ADHD 4 year old by eating less processed food.
