Utah Flour Milling, LLC, operating as Greenfield Milling, has opened its flagship flour milling facility in Richmond, marking a strategic advancement in the food supply chain.
The state-of-the-art mill will provide dedicated pneumatic flour supply to Campbell's Pepperidge Farm Goldfish Cracker and Milano Cookie plant through a 20-year supply agreement that incorporates significant sustainability initiatives.
Founded in 2022 by industry veterans John Mason and Bryan Ledgerwood, Greenfield Milling has established a partnership with Japan's Nippn Corporation, which holds a minority equity stake in the company. This collaboration supports Greenfield's plans to build a nationwide footprint.
The Richmond facility can produce up to 7,500 CWTS of flour daily with capabilities spanning hard wheat, soft wheat, whole wheat and organic flours. The mill offers flexible packaging from 2-pound to 50-pound bags and multiple shipping options.
Greenfield Milling is also expanding by leasing former assets of Panhandle Milling in Hereford, Texas. This agreement enhances the company'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.
By 2026, the company plans further expansion of its Utah facility with advanced blending and warehousing automation to meet rising consumer demand.
Greenfield's business strategy focuses on forming strategic alliances, expanding product offerings, and optimizing operations through disciplined capital management to establish a sustainable foundation for future growth.
