amaranth.

When you need a Rice Mill in Airdrie, Alberta, quality and precision matter. Whether you're a farmer harvesting a small crop of organic rice or a commercial bakery sourcing amaranth flour, the right milling partner ensures your grains are processed exactly to specification. At amaranth., we specialize in contract milling of rice, amaranth, and other ancient grains right here in Airdrie, Alberta.

We understand that every grain tells a story of the soil, the season, and the grower's care. Our mill is designed to preserve that integrity from field to finished product. As a family-owned operation, we bring a personal touch to every batch—whether it's a few hundred pounds of brown rice for a local restaurant or several tons of amaranth for a gluten-free brand.

We source from Alberta farmers whenever possible, supporting the local food system and reducing the miles grains travel before they reach your shelves. Our milling process combines traditional methods with modern equipment to deliver consistent results that commercial kitchens and food manufacturers rely on.

Our Services

Our Airdrie rice mill offers a complete range of grain processing services. Each service is tailored to your specific grain type and end-use requirements.

Custom Rice Milling

We process raw paddy rice into market-ready white or brown rice. Our milling line removes the hull, bran layers, and polish according to your specifications. The result is clean, whole-grain rice with minimal breakage. We handle small artisan batches and larger commercial volumes.

Amaranth Processing

Amaranth grains are tiny but packed with protein. Our specialized equipment cleans and processes amaranth without crushing the delicate seeds. We produce whole amaranth, amaranth flour, and toasted amaranth for use in cereals, baked goods, and health bars.

Grain Cleaning and Sorting

Before milling, grains must be free of stones, chaff, and other impurities. We use screen sifters, gravity tables, and optical sorters to achieve a purity level exceeding 99.9%. This service is available as a standalone for farmers who sell raw grain.

Packaging and Distribution

After milling, we can package your product in bags ranging from 1 lb retail pouches to 50 lb bulk sacks. We offer labeling services and can arrange distribution to retailers, warehouses, or directly to your customers across Alberta.

Bulk Grain Supply

We maintain an inventory of locally sourced rice and grains available for wholesale purchase. If you need a consistent supply for your food business, we can set up regular deliveries from our Airdrie mill.

Private Label Milling

For businesses wanting to launch their own brand of rice or grain products, we provide private label milling services. We mill, package, and label the product under your brand, giving you a turnkey solution from grain to shelf.

Quality Testing

Every batch undergoes rigorous quality testing for moisture content, grain purity, and microbial safety. We maintain detailed records for traceability and can provide certificates of analysis upon request.

Benefits of Professional Rice Mill

Professional rice milling transforms raw grain into a safe, shelf-stable, and marketable product. Without proper milling, rice is unpalatable and prone to spoilage. Here's what you gain when you work with an experienced rice mill in Airdrie, Alberta.

First, you achieve consistent quality. Industrial milling machines achieve uniform grain size and texture that hand methods cannot match. Second, you extend shelf life. Properly milled rice, with the outer bran layer removed, resists rancidity and insect infestation. Third, you unlock value-added opportunities—from polished white rice to high-protein brown rice and specialty flours.

• Better Yield: Our precision milling maximizes the percentage of whole grains, reducing waste and increasing your profit.
• Food Safety: We adhere to strict sanitation protocols to prevent contaminants and meet Health Canada standards.
• Market Readiness: Milled and packaged by us, your product is ready for retail shelves or foodservice kitchens.
• Customization: We can adjust the degree of polish, grind size, and packaging to match your brand's needs.
• Time Savings: Outsource your milling to us and free up your time to focus on farming, marketing, or product development.
