This is the new Bob's Red mill, opened in 2003 and located at 5000 International Way/Or 224 Expressway. The mill can't be missed by anyone traveling that road as it stands out like a sore thumb, a rather nice looking sore thumb.

Bob's Red Mill Brand products featuring stone ground techniques were processed and packaged here in this warehouse remodeled for that purpose. The plant burned in mid. '90s and was not rebuilt. Production however moved to a manufacturing facility off of the Milwaukie Bypass and is continuing to provide good "stone ground" products for consumers. The intermediate facility was near the new mill and was employed for about 10 years.

Closer view of the visitor center/retail outlet at the mill. The wheel is not merely for looks, but turns the mechanism and ultimaely a set of stones used for demonstration purposes to illustrate the old method of grinding with water power using grindstones.

A grindstone outside the mill utilized now as fountain. Various other millstone can be found both outside and in the visitor center / retail outlet.
