We are the oldest operating manufacturing business in Rhode Island.  Although our current building dates back to 1886, we've been grinding meals & flours on site since 1696.  Our single pass grinding process is between two, very large Westerly, Rhode Island granite millstones.  This method of grinding continues to withstand the test of time to be the health conscious choice.

Kenyon's has always been available for milling farmer's grain into meal or flour, a tradition that the Drumm family has proudly upheld.  We are currently working on a team effort producing local rye flour and bread with Schartner Farms in Exeter, Seven Stars Bakery in Providence, and Farm Fresh Rhode Island.  Throughout the years, we have always supported local farms and have been continuously looking for and grinding native grains when available, such as the rare crop of Rhode Island Flint corn.  Although we try very hard to purchase our grains as local as possible, it is also important to consider the farming methods used.  As always, we do not use, or source grain with any additives, pesticides or preservatives.

Kenyon's Grist Mill has been synonymous with many things...some people immediately envision Johnny Cakes, while others might think of Clam Cakes & Chowder served at one of our community fairs.  Find us visiting near you! 

Then there are others who enjoy the abundance of other food products available to restaurateurs and the community.  Local residents and nonresidents alike find it easy to buy Stone Ground Corn Meal, Meals & Flours, Old Fashioned Mixes, Pancake Mixes, and New England Delicacies directly off our website in Our Store.  We also have a Rhode Island Own section that contains some of Rhode Island's unique favorites, such as Lightfoot’s Pine Soap, Rhode Island Honey, Maple Syrup and coffee syrup!  Others enjoy stopping by the mill, taking in the scenery and history.  Visit us at our free festivals - here.
