How we measure our Impact
We believe that we’re accountable to you - our customers, our team members, our farmers, and everyone who helps our small business make a positive change. So, we measure and share our progress towards fulfilling our mission every year.
5 Mighty Years
Goal 1: Support Farms to create More Organic Wheat
We contract direct with organic farmers who commit to our supply standards, which include extended crop rotations to naturally replace nutrients in the soil, prevent erosion and promote biodiversity to improve crop health, and annual visits from our team.
In year five, we added a new supply partner in the West Coast – Adams Grain Co. Most large-scale flour mills in the state bypass California-grown wheat altogether in favor of sourcing from larger farms from the Rockies and Midwest. Adams partners with local farmers to source and clean the organic wheat that goes into our stone-milled breads

Goal 2: Build More Mills in More Communities
We fulfill our mission by placing our mills close to the communities we feed, we position them next to a local bakery partner, and then source as much local wheat we can.
In year five, we opened our third milling center in Sebastopol CA, and now have stone-mills in Massachusetts, New York, and California, near our largest concentration of customers. We hired Adam Schaible, a local Sebastopol resident and our newest Mighty Miller, to run our new facility. Our three milling systems can produce 5,000,000 lbs of stone-milled flour per year. That’s enough to produce 6,000,000 loaves of bread or 36,000,000 bagels.

Goal 3: Feed Mighty Communities
We’re proud to report that in year five, we have expanded our offering for students to include pizza crusts.Our team visited Springfield for four taste tests and the results were clear – 94% of students preferred our fresh made, stone-milled pizza vs. their current offering made with industrial processed flour.
When we start serving our stone-milled pizza in the fall, we’ll also be running an education program for the students, centered around a healthy diet of whole grains. Students will get to mill their own wheat on their own mini-stone mill!
We’re happy to announce that in year 6, we’ll also be serving the students in Providence, RI and Greenfield, MA school districts, taking us to over 53,000 students served.

Goal 4: Build A Company The Right Way
On October 14, 2023, we will recertify our commitment to these values for our second term as a Certified B Corp. For us, this certification formalizes our commitment to our employees, community, and the environment.
In year five, our team was proud to learn that our co-founder and CEO, Jon Olinto was selected as a winner of the E&Y Entrepreneur of the Year 2023 New England Award. We know challenging the status quo is not an easy feat, and are thrilled Jon was selected to reflect his tireless leadership to our cause.
We continue to make every team member eligible to earn an ownership interest in our company after completing their first year of full-time employment.
In year five, we gathered our team to re-affirm our five core Mighty values, listed on the opposite page. And going forward, one quarter of each team member’s annual bonus will be tied to actions that embody those values through their work with fellow team members, our partners and the communities we serve.
