About Locke's Mill
Locke’s Mill is a historic water-powered gristmill dedicated to producing high-quality, stone-ground flours using traditional milling techniques. Nestled along the banks of the Shenandoah River in Clarke County, Virginia, the mill has been in operation in various forms for centuries, preserving an important part of the region’s agricultural heritage.
Originally an 18th-century double mill site, the present building dates to 1876 and ran two mill wheels. The mill had the second wheel assembly restored and Certified USDA Organic in 2017. Today, we continue to grind grains into nutrient-rich flours, promoting traditional, regenerative flavors and textures that have been lost to modern, industrial processing.
Visiting Historic Locke’s Mill
Locke’s Mill is open to guests from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on the first and third Saturdays of the month March-November. During open hours, visitors are welcome to explore three floors of historic equipment to learn about the tradition and process of grist milling.
