Are we Milling today?
The windmill is a working windmill - and the following chart gives a rough guide as to what is possible:
0 - 5 Mph Calm
5 - 10 Mph Enough to turn the sails, but not enough to grind
10 - 15 Mph Decent wind - we could be milling
15 - 20 Mph Ideal milling wind
20 Mph + Getting to be a bit too much for windy!
*****************
If the wind is right and its not Tuesday or
Wednesday, give us a call an check to see
if the Miller is running the mill.
Of course there may be other factors on any day that mean we are not milling:
-
Maintenance (heavy machinery needs a lot of TLC)
-
Miller is doing a farmers market (we have to sell the flour as well as make it)
-
Miller is too tired (well it can be hard work!)
