Long Description:Nora Mill Granary is a real old fashioned running mill established
in 1876 and located in the historic area of Sautee-Nacoochee Valley
which is one mile South from Alpine Village of Helen, Georgia and
thirty minutes north from Dahlonega, Georgia. Nora Mills Granary
lies on the Chattahoochee River and it is across the street from
Habersham Winery. The mill is always running and produces all sorts
of freshly grounded grains. It's fun to go there in person and
observe the mill in operation. You can visit the country gift store
where you taste samples of their many of home made recipes that
they give you when you buy their grains. However, you can also
purchase items online at ("http://www.noramill.com/"

In the mill area, you have the grains which are corn and wheat
products. They sell their own mixes of porridge,grits,corn meal,
pre-mixed corn bread, flours, waffle and pancake mixes, just to
name a few.
In the country gift store area, you can purchase cast iron
products, fresh honey, home made jams and jellies, old fashion
candy. There are many pre mixes of variety of pancake and muffins,
apple butter, and too many pantry items to list. They always have
items you can sample. This is how I bought the "Grandma's Bisquick
and Pancake Mix" because they had a sample of their chess pie.
When you are done browsing through the country store, you can go
out on the porch and feed the fish in the river.
