The groats are labeled steel-cut oats because their labeling machine doesn't have the word "groats" in it. If you ask them, they can point you to it.<BR/><BR/>They're only open during daylight hours, and they're closed Sundays, but they do have a phone.<BR/>http://www.ohiotraveler.com/keim_family_market.htm<BR/><BR/>It's a great place to visit -- I bring a cooler so I can grab butter and cheese while I'm there.BeatricCaldwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01528295358818579110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8145304480917779208.post-72240013576698961832008-05-01T09:22:00.000-04:002008-05-01T09:22:00.000-04:00Maybe contact Stutzman and see if you can visit an...Maybe contact Stutzman and see if you can visit and see their equipment?

It's a special machine that steams the groats to soften them, then rolls them flat between big rollers, then dries them back out again on sheets. <BR/><BR/>You're much more ambitious than I am! I like the idea of grinding my own flour, but in practice I'm way too lazy.valereeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07109328679669048231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8145304480917779208.post-58554985605525733042008-05-01T07:56:00.000-04:002008-05-01T07:56:00.000-04:00Hey, valereee, I had to look this post up again la...Hey, valereee, I had to look this post up again last evening (enjoyed it the first time around) as my sweetheart was asking about home grinding and rolling of oats.
