The History of Arrowhead Mills
The story of Arrowhead Mills begins in 1960, when Frank Ford, an organic farmer in Texas, began grinding his flours using a stone mill and delivering them to local stores from the back of a pick-up truck. The small company grew into a national business that makes its headquarters on a 20-acre property where it’s able to conduct gluten-free testing, house storage facilities, processing facilities (where some of the same original equipment is still used!), and its corporate offices, too.
