Fifth generation for the largest family-owned, privately held miller in the U.S

WINONA, Minn. – June 20, 2024 – 2024 marks 125 years of business and the fifth generation for Bay State Milling Company, the largest family-owned, privately held grain miller in the United States. According to the Family Business Consulting Group, only 3% of family-owned businesses make it beyond the fourth generation. Over the last century and a quarter, Bay State Milling has expanded beyond commodity flour to offer a wide variety of grain-based ingredients including highly innovative and nutrition-forward products like HealthSense® High-Fiber Wheat Flour and SowNaked® Mindfully Farmed Oats. The company operates 12 facilities across the U.S. and is now processing in Canada.

Founded in 1899, Bay State Milling’s flagship mill in Winona, Minn. remains the company’s largest facility and will serve as the backdrop for the kickoff of its 125th anniversary celebration. Additional events will take place at Bay State Milling facilities across the country throughout the remainder of the year to recognize this milestone and honor the employees who have built and contributed to this legacy.
