Exciting news here! We now have 4,512 followers on our page! Who would have ever guessed 10 years ago that this tiny Mill in North Central
Kansas would end up making and selling so much unbleached, chemical free flour to so many places!!! It has taken a lot of hard work and time from dedicated volunteers who believe in what we do but it has proven successful. We owe a big debt of gratitude to the Abilene Smoky Valley Railroad for bringing thousands of visitors every year to Enterprise as well as the many repeat customers who enjoy serving our healthy flour products to their families. We are forever grateful to our wonderful volunteers who keep the place operating even with limited hours. Mary Jane and Maria keep the store in motion taking care of customers while Terry and Joe grind and bag the flour and keep the machinery working.

If you haven't been here before, come in and see us and try our products. Check out the great consignments from the area and just relax with a cup of coffee. We are open on Thursdays and Saturdays. You can reach us at 785 479 0974 or right here on this page.
