Stichting Korenmolen de-Eendracht

What Stichting Korenmolen de-Eendracht does

Stichting Korenmolen de-Eendracht is a Dutch nonprofit foundation (stichting) registered in Alphen aan den Rijn that operates a historic eight-sided Stellingmolen windmill designated as Rijksmonument #7528. The foundation's technical core is a wind-powered stone-milling system with 23.70-meter blade sweep, 10.6-meter stage height, a cap rotating on 54 steel rollers, two wind-driven and one diesel-driven composite stone couple, a 1910 Petkus grain cleaner, a Horstkötter Tornado grain blower (8.5 tonnes/hour), four grain silos, and an underpressure flour transport system. Every Saturday the mill grinds grain for a base of unnamed professional bakers and for the on-site mill shop, selling approximately 120 SKUs — flour, meal and bread mixes (Waldkorn, Maiskorn, Pain Honoré, Broodje Eendracht), leavening agents, spices including cold-milled cinnamon, nuts and seeds, and souvenirs — through both physical retail and a webshop with Saturday pickup. The business model combines unit-priced retail (€0.15–€26.05), recurring wholesale flour supply to bakeries, and a growing institutional partnership with Coöperatie Land van Ons (since December 2025) for ecologically grown wheat milling, with operations primarily funded by sales, donations, and local sponsorship (e.g., Fonds Alphen en omstreken, Rotary, GOBA). The foundation is volunteer-operated with an 11–50 headcount band, governed by a board, and serves three customer segments: professional bakers (primary), home bakers and consumers, and the Land van Ons cooperative.
