Lakshmi Venkateswara Rice &Flor Mill

Our place is in Rentala, specifically at 5-401 in Rentachintala. It is a local mill called Lakshmi Venkateswara Rice & Flor Mill. We do both rice and flour here, so there is always a white dust hanging in the air. People from the nearby villages bring their grain to us. We’ve been doing this for a while and the machines are old friends by now. They have their own sounds and moods. If you come by, you’ll likely hear the grinding long before you see the building. It’s hard work, especially when it’s hot outside, but it’s what we know. We don’t have a big website or a social media page. We just have our doors open for whoever needs their grain processed. Usually, mornings are the busiest. Everyone wants to get their flour before the sun gets too high. We try to keep things fair and get through the queue as fast as we can. Some days the power goes out and we just have to sit and wait. That’s life in a small place like this. We know almost everyone who walks through the door. It’s more than just a business, it’s how we fit into the community here. We just keep the mill running and do our part. It's been that way for years and we don't expect it to change much anytime soon. We just keep working and keeping the sacks full for the families who need them.
