The family mill sits on the River Mahon, just outside the village of Kilmacthomas in County Waterford.
The outer husk of the oats is burned to power the boiler which generates steam used in the oat cooking process. The water used in the mill comes from the Mahon River to produce electricity to power the mill.

Beta-glucan is a soluble fiber found in oats and some other foods. Regular consumption of beta-glucan as part of a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle can help maintain normal blood cholesterol levels. Each serving (40 g) contains one third (1 g) of the suggested 3 g of beta-glucan per day to help maintain normal cholesterol levels.
Oats are a source of whole grain goodness, high in fiber and naturally low in sugar, salt and saturated fat. Oats are also a source of protein and iron.
