Weisenberger Mills

What Weisenberger Mills does

Weisenberger Mills (legal name: Weisenberger Mill) is a privately held, family-owned stone-ground flour and corn mill founded in 1865 and operated continuously for six generations by the Weisenberger family at its original site on the South Elkhorn Creek in southern Scott County, Kentucky (Midway, KY). The company produces stone-ground flours (unbleached white bread flour, all-purpose, high gluten, whole wheat, rye, semolina, pumpernickel, pastry, self-rising, and plain flour), cornmeals (white and yellow, plain and self-rising, fine grind, and unbolted), stone-ground grits, and a broad line of baking mixes (biscuit, pancake, cornbread, pizza crust, fish batter, funnel cake, hushpuppy, gravy, spoon bread, scone, and various muffin mixes), along with supporting items such as yeast, cookbooks, greeting cards, gift boxes, and digital gift cards. Core production is based on traditional stone-grinding technology that the company positions as producing distinct texture and flavor not achievable with roller milling; corn products are milled in a separate gluten-free facility, and inputs are locally grown NON GMO corn and soft red winter wheat from Kentucky.

The company sells almost exclusively direct-to-consumer through its Shopify-powered e-commerce storefront (weisenberger.com), with mill pickup available at the Midway facility (7am-4pm M-F and Saturday mornings). Products are shipped via FedEx, UPS, and USPS to domestic and international destinations, with no minimum order requirement and a 100% satisfaction guarantee. Payment acceptance spans American Express, Apple Pay, Diners Club, Discover, Google Pay, Mastercard, PayPal, Shop Pay, and Visa. The business is supported by a small team (11-50 employees), a Judge.me reviews integration, a points-based loyalty rewards program, and organic content marketing through a 216-page cookbook, recipe blog, and Facebook/Instagram presence. There is no parent company, no institutional or external equity ownership, and no public financial disclosures.
