Be the hero of your home or homestead!  

Win this amazing tool to help with your holiday meal preparation and watch your guests go wild over freshly milled coffee, freshly ground nutbutter or fluffy biscuits milled and made from scratch! We're talking seriously delicious (and don't tell the kids), more nutritious foods, for you, your family, your friends...and if the word gets out...the neighborhood!

A little bit about the raffle beneficiary - 

The Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund protects your access to foods of choice, from farmers/artisans of choice amid an over-regulated food system which unfairly impacts small farms and artisans. 

Protecting your plate may take the form of consulting with new farmers or artisanal food chefs to help them get their foods to market, defending raw milk farm families in court, consulting with communities who want to set up private buying clubs or simply lobbying for farm-friendly regulations and legislation.

A little bit about the raffle sponsor - 

Pantry Paratus, a small family owned and operated company and friend of the Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund. Paratus is Latin for "ready" or "prepared", and its mission is to encourage healthy eating by equipping folks to produce, prepare and preserve their own harvest.

Wonder Junior Deluxe and Drill Bit Attachment for Wonder Junior

The nifty drill bit attachment transforms the hand-crank grain mill into an electric one! Makes milling a snap!

What will this little powerhouse do for you? 

Don't be surprised when this becomes your favorite kitchen tool as you can do both wet and dry milling...

• Make gluten-free flours like corn, rice, amaranth, garbanzo, lentil and buckwheat flours
• Freshly grind cacao beans, coffee beans and flax seeds
• Grind your own whole wheat flour or corn meal
• Make your own nut butters (like almond, pecan and peanut butters - or make your own custom blends!)
• Grind fresh seed butters (like pumpkin seed, sesame seed and more)

You may wonder: Why go through the trouble of grinding your own grains, seeds, nuts and beans? 

Here's why: fresh grinding helps you:

• preserve nutrients
• avoid common commercial flour additives like potassium bromate, benzyl peroxide, chlorine, ascorbic acid, chlorine dioxide, calcium peroxide and azodicarbonamide
• avoid rancidity (oils from grains go rancid within just a few days)
• preserve flavor and coffee aroma (Did you know that just 15 minutes after grinding, coffee may have lost up to 60% of its aroma?)

Who's going to love this prize?  

This is one of those kitchen tools you may never have thought about owning, but once you did, you were amazed at all it could do. Yes, you want this prize--whatever your food persuasion! 

• Paleo & Crossfitters - Fresh grind your coffee each morning, and get a mini workout at the same time! Grinding is great upper body exercise! For an even better workout, make some almond butter!
• Nut Butter Lovers - Oh yeah, let's talk fresh almond, pecan or peanut butter! This mill will grind wet or dry! You will absolutely love that we've included the Drill Bit Attachment, as hand grinding can be more of a workout than you asked for!
• Chocolate Lovers - You are going to be so spoiled when you can grind your own cacao beans and get over-the-top flavor.
• Weston A. Price Foundation & Other Traditional Foodways Folks - Fresh grind your sprouted grains before baking for that extra nutrition and flavor boost. Those fragile oils won't be overheated like with a commercial mill, and you'll get all the nutritional benefits of eating freshly milled flours and grains.
• Homesteaders and Preppers - No electricity? No problemo! You can keep the coffee, biscuits and nut butters on the table with this hand-cranked prize! Or...use your solar powered drill to whip through the grinding when desired! You get the best of both worlds!
• Foodies - Ok, maybe you don't want the workout, but you are in it for the FRESHNESS. There's nothing like freshly milled flour. Nothing.
• Gluten-free Folks - Did you think we forgot you? Oh no! This mill will make the best and freshest gluten-free flours! Just imagine fresh rice, corn, amaranth, garbanzo, lentil or buckwheat flours at your fingertips.

You will wonder how you ever did without it!
