Our Story

Learn how Homestead Gristmill rebuilt a historic 1760-style gristmill in Waco, Texas and still mills fresh flour on granite stones.

Historical context

The story page explains how Homestead Gristmill rebuilt a historic-style mill and turned that history into a modern food business centered on fresh milling and whole-grain flavor.

Readers use this page to understand why the mill emphasizes granite stones, water-powered tradition, and slower processing as part of the value of the finished flour and grains.

That historical context reinforces the difference between the brand and commodity flour sellers that do not show their milling identity or production philosophy.
