Farming year in medieval times A farmer''s odyssey
M. illing is the process of grinding down grains of wheat and barley in order to produce flour.. Flour was not white and powdery as we know it today. It was brown and coarse like wholegrain, but included more particles of husks. If the Lord of the manor owned a mill, all the milling of the village would have happened there and would have been taxed with a portion of the flour milled.
