History[edit | edit source]

Bob Moore, founder of Bob's Red Mill

The company was founded by Bob Moore and his wife, Charlee, in 1978. The Moores were inspired by their passion for healthy eating and whole grains. They purchased an old mill in Oregon and began producing stone-ground flours and cereals. The use of traditional stone milling techniques is a hallmark of Bob's Red Mill, as it helps preserve the nutrients and flavor of the grains.

In 1988, a fire destroyed the original mill, but the Moores rebuilt the facility, expanding its capacity and product line. Over the years, Bob's Red Mill has grown significantly, becoming a leader in the natural foods industry.

Products[edit | edit source]

Bob's Red Mill offers a wide range of products, including:

  • Whole grain flours
  • Cereals
  • Baking mixes
  • Gluten-free products
  • Organic grains
  • Seeds and nuts

The company is particularly known for its gluten-free line, which is produced in a dedicated gluten-free facility to prevent cross-contamination.

Manufacturing Process[edit | edit source]

Bob's Red Mill uses traditional stone milling techniques to produce its flours and cereals. This process involves grinding grains between two large stones, which helps retain the nutritional value and flavor of the grains. The company is committed to using high-quality, non-GMO ingredients and offers many organic options.

Community and Sustainability[edit | edit source]

Bob's Red Mill is dedicated to sustainability and community involvement. The company sources its grains from local and regional farmers whenever possible and supports sustainable agricultural practices. Bob's Red Mill is also known for its employee ownership program, which was established in 2010 when Bob Moore transferred ownership of the company to his employees through an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP).
