Mighty means local.
We always suspected that highly processed flour from big factories couldn’t be good for us. But, the more we researched and talked to health leaders, the clearer it became that decades of chemical farming and industrial milling have impacted flour quality and nutrition. To fix flour, we realized we needed to start by bringing back healthy local food systems that produce fresh, nutritious flour. This means partnering with organic, regenerative farmers, building our own stone mills, and baking bagels, bread, tortillas, and pretzels with fresh stone-milled flour.
Catalyzing Organic Wheat Farming.
Only about 1% of wheat grown in our country is organic— that’s not good enough. We directly partner with organic farmers who commit to our Mighty supply chain standards. This means we source as much local, organic wheat as possible and we partner with farmers who commit to extended crop rotations and promote biodiversity.
Building our own Mighty Stone Mills.
150 years ago, stone mills were the cornerstone of healthy, local food systems. Thanks to the industrial revolution, tens of thousands of stone mills were replaced by a handful of industrial mills. Freshness, taste, and nutrition were traded for shelf stability and low costs. That's why we're on a mission to build stone mills across the country. We started with one in Lynn, MA and today have 10 in MA, NY, and CA.
Nourishing schools and communities that need it most.
600,000 bagels. That's how many stone-milled bagels we served to public school kids in Lynn and Springfield, MA in the last school year. We believe fulfilling our mission means we have to feed communities beyond the ones who can purchase our Mighty Breads and Bagels at grocery stores.
Support Mighty Farms to Grow More Organic Wheat
We contracted 300,000 lbs of local organic wheat this year. Healthy wheat means living, organic soil which supports a happy and healthy community and planet.
Build More Stone Mills in More Communities
This year, we built 3 more stone mills in California! This means we'll have built 10 stone mills in 4 years of business.
feed local communities fresher food
In 2022 we supplied our stone-milled Mighty bagels to 30,000+ students at Springfield and Lynn schools.
Everyone acts like an owner, because they are.
From baker to miller— every employee at One Mighty Mill is eligible for equity after one full year. This year we grew our total to 16 employee-owners.
Putting the “B” in baking
We're a B Corp which means we balance purpose with profit. To fulfill our mission we hold ourselves to certain social, environmental, and internal standards.
Co-Founders, Jon Olinto and Chef Tony set out on a mission to prove that flour can be fixed.
