June | 2008 | Bob's Red Mill Blog

The last few weeks have been fairly exciting here at the mill. Camera crews have been crawling all over the facility trying to capture footage for our upcoming Mill Tour movie. It’s just like Hollywood with directors calling “action” and having to shoot each scene several times.

The mill has taken on an air of energy with employees trying to bring the best tour possible to everyone who will see the movie. Okay, so the movie is only going to be 8 minutes long, but it’s pretty exciting just the same.

Here are some fun behind-the-scenes pictures that we captured during filming. Look for the tour movie later in the year.

Here, Bob watches filming in the gluten free mill room.

The camera gets in close for a shot of a packaging line.

Bob gives the crew some pointers about what needs to be done.

Bob just can’t resist talking shop, no matter who’s filming.

Hi! I’m Bob Moore, founder of Bob’s Red Mill Natural Foods. For the last few months, people around here keep telling me that we need a blog to keep you, our customers, in the loop about what exactly takes place at our mill. Last week, they finally convinced me. So, welcome to The Mill Room.

I have found, as I circulate around my world of trade shows, customer calls and visiting with folks at our wonderful mill outlet store, that people want to know where their foods come from and how they are made, so we are opening our doors to you. Unlike many companies these days, we make our own products, controlling the entire process from the source of our grains to their arrival in your kitchen. You can visit this blog to read about exciting new products and keep up to date with mill happenings and just plain learn how we make our products.

In the next few months, we will be telling you about some of our great employees that help keep the mill running smoothly. I’m a busy guy and don’t want to be stuck behind my desk when I can be out checking on the mills or watching trucks unload, so most of the time I’ll have one of my fine staff keeping our blog site running for you. I’ll chime in now and again to tell you about my latest adventures in whole grains. In the meantime, enjoy The Mill Room!

To Your Good Health,

Bob Moore

Lights, Camera, Action!

Welcome!
