MADE MONTANA TOUGH
Resourcefulness. Grit. Hard work. That’s the Montana way—and that’s our story, too. In 1999, Bonnie Jones wanted a hand-operated grain mill. After a fruitless search for one that fit the requirements, Randy, Bonnie’s husband, decided to make one instead. We never set out to build a mill manufacturing business, but more than two decades and a thriving national company later, one thing is clear: our lives have been transformed by that very first grain mill. GrainMaker® mills are individually handcrafted right here in Montana with hard work, attention to detail and a commitment to quality. Our mills are built to last for generations so that you can share the benefits of wholesome, healthy food with the ones you love. Each part of our mills, from the augers to the grinding burrs, is made on-site so we can back the quality with our Heirloom Guarantee.
“WOW! What a product! It is so refreshing to see such a good quality product still being made in the USA! Thank you.”
– Bill, Idaho
“We use our mill every day and are stilL using The original burrs, we love it!”
– Jim, Colorado
A FAMILY BUSINESS FROM THE START
The very first GrainMaker® mill was designed when we were raising our family, homeschooling our children and generally learning to become more self-sufficient—or “God-reliant,” as we like to say. Learning to mill our own flour was one big step in this journey. Randy’s first GrainMaker® mill worked so well we wanted to share this incredible tool with others.
Randy’s machining company, 1889 Wild West Co., began producing GrainMaker® mills. After introducing the mill at a few local trade shows, the business grew organically right along with our family. We soon needed to move the shop into a larger facility, and we brought the kids along with us. We are so grateful for how God used a simple tool to fulfill our dream of running our own business.
In addition to spending time with our children and having a blast being Boompa and Nana to a growing bunch of grandkids, Randy enjoys taking care of his horses and Bonnie loves taking care of her grandkids. And 20 years later, our love for doing things ourselves still hasn’t changed.
