Miller Jeanet van Bentum 

Jeanet van Bentum

For a long time, I was thinking about starting the course for becoming miller. You may say, that my interest in mills runs in the blood.
My grandfather owned a corn mill ("De Liefde" in Woudenberg) and my father was corn dealer.
Before being a volunteer at the mill, I worked as a nurse. In 2006 I stopped working and had spare time for this nice hobby. I love old buildings and monuments. A mill is beautifully constructed. Everything fits well and runs like clockwork. It is really astonishing, that it has been invented for centuries and is still running perfectly today.
It might not be fast enough in these days, but for me, the mill is running fast enough. A hobby, which I can highly recommend everyone.
