About Bob's Redmill
Bob's journey began in the mid '60s after coming across a book about an old stone-grinding flour mill. Unable to shake his vision of operating a flour mill that provided wholesome and nutritious food, Bob tirelessly searched for his own set of usable millstones. With a little time and persistence, Bob and his wife found several sets of millstones and began their first mill in Redding, California. In 1978 the couple left the mill and retired to Oregon City, but fate stepped in one afternoon when Bob came across an old mill that was for sale in nearby Milwaukie, Oregon. A few months later, Bob’s new mill was producing stone ground flours and cereals for local customers.
To make superb whole grain flour, no modern technology can match the Old World engineering of a stone mill. Their beautiful stone grinding mills are much like the ones used during early Roman times. These quartz millstones ensure the most nutritious parts of the whole grain remain, so we can pack wholesome goodness right into your bag. Bob's millstones grind at a slow speed and cool temperature, creating nutritious, quality foods that are minimally processed, just as nature intended. For optimal freshness, store our whole grain flours and meals in a cool, dry place. They keep best refrigerated or frozen after opening.
