How it does good
Inspired by the past, looking to the future
Wheat has been a staple since the early days of civilization, and stone-milling didn't come far behind, rising to prominence in Ancient Rome. While much of modern flour production uses high-temperature roller mills to speed up the manufacturing process, Bob’s Red Mill thinks, “If it’s not broke, don’t fix it,” committing to a slow, steady, stone-milling process that maintains flavor, texture, and nutrients. Their commitment to time-tested techniques makes them a household name in health food, but it doesn’t mean they’re stuck in the past. They’re breaking tradition with non-GMO ingredients; an expansive catalogue of gluten- and allergen-free, and vegan products; and a groundbreaking Employee Stock Ownership Plan. They also support social justice through the NAACP.
Bob's Red Mill supports No Kid Hungry and Oregon Food Bank, donating funds and food to address food insecurity in their community and beyond. They've also founded multiple research centers, including The Moore Family Center for Whole Grain Foods, Nutrition and Preventive Health at Oregon State University, which work to study and enhance the health impacts of nutrition and food education.

Bob's Red Mill
Bob and Charlee met on a blind date in 1952. It was Charlee who first inspired the couple’s whole grain adventure when she decided to create a healthier life for her family by feeding them wholesome, natural foods and whole grains. Charlee was a fixture in the original Bob’s Red Mill store and took on many roles in the early days, including packaging products by hand. Bob immersed himself in the ancient art of stone milling, researching historic mills and contacting dozens of people and companies in his quest to locate millstones and other flour-making equipment.
