In the past, grains were an important part of most people's diet - just like today. To be able to bake a bread, the grain must be ground to flour. For hundreds of years this happened by means of hand carved millstones - thousands of which were produced i Hyllestad. We can rightly say that the millstones from Hyllestad were the stones of life!
Try grinding your own grain! Are you strong enough to move the historically accurate hand mill? How long will it take to grind enough flour for a piece of bread? This activity is suitable for everyone.
