Our Founders Bob and Charlee Moore, built Bob’s Red Mill with a simple mission: to bring wholesome food to the world, while creating lasting security for the employees who helped make it possible.
In 2010, after decades of growth, Bob took that vision one step further by creating an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), making everyone an employee owner.
“Setting up an ESOP was just the right thing to do. I have people that have worked with me for over 30 years, and each and every one of them deserves this.” — Bob Moore
Today, Bob’s Red Mill is proudly 100% employee owned—a legacy rooted in care, craftsmanship and doing right by people.
Bob Moore dreamed of opening a mill from the day he discovered John Goffe’s Mill—a book telling the story of a man who, with no prior experience, restored his family’s ancestral mill and ground wheat into flour. Inspired, Bob immersed himself in the art of stone milling and, alongside his wife and sons, opened his first mill in Redding, California in 1974.
A few years later, Bob and Charlee retired to Milwaukie, Oregon—but retirement didn’t last long. One day, while out for a walk, they stumbled upon an old feed mill and learned it was for sale. They took a leap of faith and, in 1978, launched what would become Bob’s Red Mill.
Nearly five decades later, the Mill remains a lasting symbol of the quality and community that inspired Bob from the very beginning.
Our founders Bob and Charlee Moore first opened our doors in 1978 with a mission of bringing people together with homemade food. Starting with a handful of simple ingredients like stone ground flour and whole grain oats, they connected with a community hungry for quality food made with integrity—and quickly grew into a trusted food brand.
