Are you interested in making your own flour to use for baking bread? This is not difficult to do, but the grains could be difficult to find or just to expensive. A better option is to learn how to grow and harvest grains in your backyard.
A simple patch of land that is separate from your garden is all you really need to grow and harvest grains in your backyard. The best thing is you can plant different grains as growing seasons change. Grains to grow include wheat, rye, and even buckwheat. This will depend on the growing season in your area.
Once you have learned how to grow and harvest grains in your backyard, then the next step is to find a flour mill. Milling grains will need to be done once your grains have been harvested and prepared. You can also use any heavy blender to convert your grain into flour.
