Okay, is this for her own use or for a feast? If the latter, I think 
there are more important things to spend her time on. If the former, 
then I wish her luck. I'd be interested in how many loaves she makes 
before tiring of grinding the grain herself.

I'm not sure if this file has merchants for querns or not, but you 
might check. If not, perhaps some of the other info will be of 
interest:
