ABOUT US

Sun Prairie Mills Ltd. is a small family-owned enterprise. We built the mill in 1982 with the intent to provide nutritious, unadulterated, wholesome food to our community. For this reason, all our flour products are stone-ground and undergo a minimum of processing and alteration.

We mill grain from our own farm and from other organic producers in the area. Both our farm and flour mill are certified organic.

Sun Prairie Mills is located at the east side of Nanton, a prairie town at the edge of the foothills 80km south of Calgary on Highway 2.

Our logo symbolizes the most cherished view from our farm: a glowing prairie sun setting over the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. The name Sun Prairie was chosen because our farm is located in the historical Sun Prairie school district east of the town of Nanton, Alberta. The school was opened in 1905 and served homesteader children from a 20 square mile area. It was closed in 1918 when the children started to attend school in Nanton.
