About On The Home Front 
"Four days a week I post and host the blog "On The Home Front". Topics covered are living frugally, gardening, pantry management, and recipes. I live in Vermont and during my 30 years of gardening I have completed both the Master Gardener and the Master Composter programs offered through the state extension bureaus. I am interested in providing delicious, nutritious, chemical-free food for my family. This includes grinding my own wheat berries to make my flour. I have used a WonderMill grain mill for over 17 years. I also garden organically, and what food we don't immediately consume I preserve to be enjoyed later. I love walking into my pantry and seeing the shelves filled with the garden's bounty! I also enjoy hearing great ideas and receiving feedback from my readers at http://homefront.prudentliving.com.
I am also a contributing editor for the online magazine "Prudent Living Magazine", this is a free online publication that comes out four times a year and helps readers to live a prudent more sustainable life. If you are interested in ways to save money that are practical and make sense check it out at PrudentLivingMagazine.com.
Grain Mill Wagon Challenge Experience: Participating in the WonderMill Grain Mill Challenge was a highlight of my fall. I have been using a WonderMill for awhile and love it. Participating in the challenge gave me the opportunity to try some new recipes in addition to my well loved recipes. A good friend shared a recipe using wild rice flour and for the first time I used my grain mill to grind some wild rice! The pancakes I made were delicious and very hearty! I look forward to using my grain mill in the future to try making other types of flour and of course I will continue to make my favorite whole wheat bread using freshly ground flour! If there is every another opportunity to partake in such a challenge I hope I have the opportunity to apply.
