The Morrison Milling Company began in 1886 as the Alliance Milling Company, a farmer's
cooperative flour mill, formed by local farmers to mill their wheat into
premium flour for North Texas bakers.
The cooperative was successful and became the backbone
of the wheat industry around
Denton,
Texas, selling premium flour to retailers and
bakers throughout
North
Texas. In the 1800's, transportation was a major problem for
farmers so that flour milling and
distribution was a local business.
By the early 1900s, there were several hundred flour mills in Texas.
However, as transportation improved,
competition increased in the flour
market. In the last fifty years, there has been a major consolidation in our
business.
In 1936, the Morrison family bought The Alliance Milling Company and renamed it The Morrison
Milling Company. In 2006, C.H. Guenther
& Son, Inc. acquired Morrison Milling Company and added the Morrison
products to the C.H. Guenther family of brands. We still mill local wheat and
corn into flour and cornmeal, but, over the years, we have also developed a
wide variety of flour and cornmeal based mix products.
Today, just like 100 years ago Morrison’s core business
remains the milling of locally grown wheat and corn.
Our principal wheat suppliers are still small North Texas farmers who
grow the finest hard winter wheat in
America
. As millers, we
select the grain ourselves and control the milling process from start to
finish.
In this way, we can deliver the finest flour and cornmeal we can make, to our customers.
We believe that it all starts with the grain.
