Toll Free Number

Well, people we've done it! We finally have gotten a toll free number, and happiness is that it's the same as our local number. 1-855-777-7096. Isn't that great?! Call me a nerd for being so excited but I'm completely okay with that. (c: I am a nerd about our GrainMaker and helping people get a hold of us. It will be active by the end of the week and I will update the Website when I get the go- ahead that the number is active. This is so exciting! Take care and God Bless.

Salt Lake City

We made it to SLC at 2:00 am. We hit a deer just east of Salmon, ID. Not major damage to our rig, but the deer didn't fair so well. We are heading out to eat, then its on to the convention center to set up our booth. Once that is done, maybe we will even be able to enjoy the area and beautiful scenery. More later. 

It's a beautiful day.

Self Reliance Expo. Salt Lake City Utah.

The Expo starts on Friday the 5th and runs through Saturday the 6th. We have been packing up all morning and should be getting on the road any time now. Just a few little details to take care of in the office so it runs smoothly for everyone. We love going to these shows and Expos because we can talk to and show people directly how to use our GrainMakers. They can see how well made it truly is. We know people have quite a few options to choose from for grinding their own grain and we love showing our mill and everything it can do because we know you'll love it. If you are curious and near by we welcome you to come down and we can show you up close why our mill is the BEST one you will ever come across.

We recently sold one to an engineer at NASA who was going to make his own until he came across ours:

We are confident in our product quality. This will truly be something that your family will have around for a long, long time. Yes, we have a Lifetime Warranty that is a TRUE Lifetime Warranty. We stand by our word and strive to continually improve everything about our mill including our customer service.

Please come down to the Salt Lake City Expo if you're able and stop by our booth and say hi! We will be happy to see you! Take care and God Bless!

October comes to a close.

As October draws to a close we are getting ready to get on the road again. This time to Salt Lake City, Utah. We will be heading down to the South Towne Expo Center for the Self Reliance Expo on Nov. 5th and 6th We will be baking bread again and are thinking about having coffee for those that stop by and say 'hi!' to us.

It seems so crazy that this year has gone by so fast that we are already looking forward to the holiday season. Thanksgiving (yum!) and Christmas (family time!) is FAST approaching. We've done a lot this year and are looking forward to the hard work next year. I know this Expo is going to be so much fun, and I can't wait to meet everyone we can while we are there. See all you down in Utah soon! Take care and God, Bless!

Hitting the ground running!

Well, we met our deadline to get the store up and running by last Friday! It's such a relief to load the new pages and let them do their thing knowing that everything is secure. This has been a long stressful process, but having an attractive and functional website is a blessing that we are happy to have completed. Updates are always a must to keep it looking fresh but this is a good thing. So I hope now to just finish all the loose ends up and it's smooth sailing from here. I feel like we've hit the ground running!

GrainMaker.com

Well,
Calls are picking up and we are making headway on getting our site updated and our shopping cart back online for secure orders for credit cards. It's been a trial moving our website in house, bumps in the road and everything, but ultimately we have total control and instant access to changes we want done. It's a process getting the ball rolling, but in the end it will be wonderful having complete creative control and open communication with the woman sitting there making the changes. Hopefully things will all be working by the end of the week. That's our Goal. We want our customer to feel good about talking to us and ordering from us in any way they feel most comfortable. We happy to help anyone with any question or concern that they may have at any point in their purchase or decision making process. Take care and God Bless!
