- Ray D’Alessio takes us on a visit to Talbot County for an inside look at a Georgia icon. A fully operational water powered gristmill, and the man who's kept the stones grinding for nearly a century.
Great story, Mike Buckner is great people and has a wonderful place!
This was a great story.
Sir, if I could, I’d shake your hand! Thank you for your dedication devotion.

FINKS MILL in samson alabama has a water grist mill. On natural bridge creek
Is there a way to buy this corn meal, I love to support small businesses. I don’t live in Georgia or I’d go there in person.
Back to the future. When the power goes out I hope he has an apprentice.
Hamburg State Park in Washington County has an operational mill. The "Friends of Hamburg" operate it a few times a year and sell the products. I assume that is the other operational water-powered one in Georgia.
he got that part right about the disposable SHIT they build today. planned obsolescence
Life College in Marietta has one, the Lifler Mill. So there are more than 2. Is the Nora Mill in Helen water powered.
We keep saying "back in the day". Stay humble - the way things are heading - we may be back to depending on the old ways.
All I can say is cool wish I was on a farm.
75 years ago there were dozens of these mills all over here, every little stream that could support a mill had one. The big corporations and mega ag put them out of business. Too many environmental regulations now to build a dam.
