Who We Are
Hi. I’m Roe, and I created the King’s Roost because I’m passionate about making things. I want to share my joy and passion with you. You don’t have to be a zealot; you can take it slow, explore, dabble, give some things a try. I have the supplies and classes you need. Come into the King’s Roost and get advice, equipment, lessons, or encouragement anytime.
Our Story
For me, it all started when a friend introduced me to the health benefits and delicious taste of home-milled flour. I had no idea that the grains we were eating were so stripped of their nutrients by the time they reached the market shelves. Even grains labeled 100% whole wheat have been processed intensely. When was the last time you found bugs in a bag of flour, the way we did as kids? Ever wonder why insects have no interest in our flour anymore? It’s got nothing worthwhile left in it! Even more surprising to me than all this, however, was how easy it turned out to be. Grinding your own grains is even easier than grinding your own coffee beans– fast and effortless, no clean up, and a huge difference in freshness and flavor.
Our Philosophy
I bought a grain mill, began cooking simple recipes with whole grains, and never looked back. Since then, I’ve been grinding flour, rolling oats, making my kids waffles, muesli, grits, sandwich bread, pizza dough, cornbread, pancakes, oatmeal, granola bars, muffins, cookies, polenta, and birthday cakes with nutritious, tasty fresh-milled wholemeal flour straight from local farms.
