In 1906, J. Lloyd Ford started a family tradition.
Homesteading in the Oklahoma Land Run years, the J. Lloyd Ford family built their original log cabin in 1895. Preserved by his company, the landmark still stands today. The Mill he started in 1906 is a legacy to his insistence on quality products. He set the standards for Shawnee Mills, still operated by the third and fourth generations of Ford family millers. Despite significant growth over the years, the company has never lost track of its roots.
The core values of Shawnee Milling Company include:
- A tradition of family values.
- An insistence on quality products.
- A record of dependable, personal service.
- An offering of consistent value.
- A family of friendly, knowledgeable, and dedicated employees.
These values have guided Shawnee Milling Company’s evolution into a large and sophisticated milling and mixing operation, determined to meet the demanding requirements of an equally sophisticated customer base.
