Homegrown Roots
Bob's Red Mill, founded in 1978, evolved from a local producer serving Oregon's Portland area into a global brand offering over 200 products in more than 70 countries. Moore's legacy is preserved in the company's commitment to unprocessed, high-quality food and in his contributions to Oregon universities for nutritional health education and research.
100% Employee Owned
Bob's Red Mill, a 100% employee-owned company, continues to uphold Moore's values and legacy. Moore's vision of a business that benefits its employees and customers alike has left an indelible mark on the industry and serves as an inspiring model for ethical business practices in sustainable food production.
