Tour the Modern Stone Grist Mill in Skowhegan

Join us on June 11 for a tour of Maine Grains, a flour mill using three millstones imported from Austria located in a renovated brick jailhouse. Over 2.5 million pounds of grain are processed here each year. The one-hour tour will be followed by lunch in the on-site Miller’s Table Cafe serving foods made with Maine Grain flours from scratch including pizza made in their copper domed pizza oven.

Maine Grains are sold locally at Hannaford and The Belfast Co-op, and their oats are a favorite of Martha Stewart. Their flours have been featured in Bon Appétit and The New York Times.

In the same building is a cheese creamery shop, a shop selling cookbooks, bakeware and Maine-made goods, and a shop selling knitting and crocheting supplies.

Because this is a food producing facility, earplugs and hairnets will be provided, and we will be climbing stairs, so comfortable shoes are suggested.

This tour is sponsored by Belfast Senior College. We will be carpooling from Belfast to Skowhegan. The cost is $25 per person, and participants will purchase their own lunch. The tour is limited to 20 people.

Carpooling groups will meet at 9:00 AM at Reny's Belfast parking lot.

Participants who are not car pooling should plan to arrive at Maine Grains by 10:30 AM.  

Additional trip details will be shared by email upon sign-up.
