Ospelse Molendagen on August 20 and 21

Ospel – Under the theme “From farmer to baker”, the millers of the Korenbloem mill in Ospel are organizing the Ospelse Molendagen for the seventh time.

You are welcome to come and enjoy the wonderful smell of grinding grain. Also, on this special day (Sunday), the machines the farmer used to sow and thresh are on display. In this way, the whole process, from the grain at the farmer to the grinding at the mill, is visualized. Like old tractors and a combine harvester.

There are also small agricultural implements that the farmer used on the farm and on the land. These machines are still complete as they were once used for grain cultivation and have been fully restored.

On Sundays, the owners themselves tell about the operation of these machines and also the story of the farmers of that time. And of course there is coffee with waffles. For children there is a bouncy castle and a handbag.
