Here are some videos from one of our expeditions to Bob’s Red Mill which is an amazing place to buy any kind of grain or flour plus baked goods and a killer restaurant. It is near Oregon City, just a short drive from Salem where we lived for five years ending about ten years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The owner and founder (Bob) retired from his business career at 65 and then started the mill as his post-retirement dream. Turned into a nationally famous producer of grains, flours, and mixes (bread, cake and such) that distributes across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He was often there and became something of a celebrity with folks hoping to catch a “Bob sighting.” When it was time to retire from that too, he gave the mill, the store, and the distribution network to his employees to own jointly as a group. What a guy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When we lived in Salem, we would often take trips out to Bob’s for lunch and to resupply with the grain products we needed at home. Here are a few home movies from one of those trips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
