Utah Flour Milling LLC has begun production at its new Greenfield Milling facility in Richmond in Cache County.
The new mill, first announced last year, was built to deliver a dedicated flour supply to Campbell’s Pepperidge Farm Goldfish Cracker and Milano Cookie plant next door on Highway 91 in Richmond. The two companies have a 20-year flour supply agreement.
Utah Flour said a key factor behind the construction of the plant is Greenfield Milling’s strategic partnership with Nippon Corp. of Japan, which holds a minority equity stake in the company. The collaboration highlights Greenfield’s commitment to building a nationwide footprint through strong alliances and ongoing growth.
Founded in 2022 by milling industry veterans John Mason and Bryan Ledgerwood, Greenfield Milling aims to become a leader in mix-integrated flour production, the company said in a release. The company said it emphasizes cutting-edge technology, quality and strategic partnerships to meet the evolving needs of retail, snack and bakery markets.
The Richmond facility can produce up to 750,000 pounds of flour daily, with capabilities for hard wheat, soft wheat, whole wheat and organic flours. It offers flexible packaging capabilities — from 2-pound to 50-pound bags — and multiple shipping options to ensure reliable nationwide supply.
Greenfield Milling also announced its plans to further expand its operations by leasing the assets of Panhandle Milling, an organic retail flour and bakery mixes producer located in Hereford, Texas. The agreement will enhance Greenfield’s ability to serve the bakery industry with ingredients and mixes for tortillas, pizza dough, pancakes and dry bake mixes in conventional, organic and gluten-free formats, the company said.
Looking ahead, the company also plans to expand its Richmond facility with advanced blending and warehousing automation, boosting capacity to meet rising consumer demand.
