Stephenson Family Ties

We lead our lives like water flowing down a hill,

going more or less in one direction until we splash

into something that forces us to find a new course.

My Builder is Building again! This time with our brillant son in law. For over a year now My Builder has been helping David build a website for the rabbit food that David formulated. As of this day...the website is hit about 10,000 times a month. People are itching for the food to be produced and so they can buy it!!. We tried having a mill produce it...but that didnt turn out too well. So these two perfectionists have decided to mill the food themselves.
About a month ago...David and My Builder signed a contract for a warehouse in Logan where they plan on milling and bagging the perfect rabbit food. Now the equipment is in place and the ingredients are ordered and the last minute details are falling into place.

Im keeping my fingers crossed, but our enthusiasm, and optimism is high...We're anticipating that the feed bags will start flying out the door via parcel post!!

"A few more pics of the setup, and the mixer being delivered a couple weeks ago. The equipment looks old (they are), but they're goodies. Stainless steel inside parts on the pellet mill. The pellet mill is the dirty looking gray piece and weighs about 6000 pounds, and was a trick lifting with the forklift and getting it to fit on the stand and mate up with the top piece as well. We power washed everything, so it's clean now, but needs a new coat of paint.

The mill was built in the 50's but they still make parts for these mills back in PA. They were built like tanks and there are still a lot of them in use. We bought a new SS die that came from their plant in Holland. Just need to add some chutes, augers and bins and we should be making pellets in the next couple weeks."
