About Us...
Kenyon’s Grist Mill is the oldest operating manufacturing business in Rhode Island.  Although the 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.

Happenings...
We just had a wonderful Summer Festival on July 24 & 25.  It was bit hot, especially on Saturday, making free kayaking a "splash".  Despite the heat and a bit of rain, we had a great time and hope you did too!  Thank you for donating piles of food and clothing to benefit the Jonnycake Center.  We will be posting the total weight soon.  Thank you for also donating to the Wood-Pawcatuck Watershed Association for kayaking, and on the buses.  Since there are a lot of expenses and we do not charge visitors or vendors, every little bit helps.   

The event would not be possible without our volunteers.  Thank you Job Corps of Exeter for pitching in on Saturday.  Special thanks to our musicians!  And without the help of JGB III Landscape and all of his crew, the earthen dam would not have been finished in time.  Last but not least, thank you for supporting local businesses in the state by purchasing local products at the festival and educating yourself, family and friends about the wonderful things we have in Rhode Island.

We are very excited about our upcoming Harvest Festival on October 23 & 24.  There will be different products and vendors with a fall theme.  In addition to the festivals we hold at the mill, we also travel to several New England locations for other fairs.  We are now gearing up for the Charlestown Seafood Festival on August 6-8.  Visit us at the clam cake & chowder booth.  For more information, click here.
