Deep Roots Milling, located at Woodson's Mill in Nelson County, Virginia, is a water-powered mill that has been in operation for nearly 200 years. The mill is run by a group of individuals who are passionate about preserving traditional grain processing methods and connecting farmers with bakers. They grind open-pollinated heirloom grains, such as spelt, rye, and heirloom blue corn, as well as an old variety called "Bloody Butcher." The mill's operation and the establishment of the Common Grain Alliance have helped create a market for locally grown and processed grains, supporting a return to more traditional and local grain production.
