Arva Flour Mills

Arva Flour Mills is a family-run Canadian mill in Arva, Ontario, operating since 1819 and described as Canada’s oldest commercial flour mill. Its heritage milling operation uses century-old roller mills to produce artisan flour, with a focus on strengthening Ontario’s regional food system through heritage grains and locally made food. The mill’s range includes conventional and organic flours, gluten-free products, baking mixes, cereals and grains, as well as the much-loved Red River Cereal, now made at Arva. Customers can also find baking ingredients, apparel and merchandise, and products made in Ontario.

Arva Flour Mills sells through its online store and offers wholesale services. The brand shares recipes and a flour guide to help customers use its products, and provides a cookbook and sourdough workshops for home bakers. Its website also features the Red River Cafe, listed as open, along with information about the mill’s history and community. Arva presents its approach as farm-to-table, grounded in good, clean food and Canadian-made products.
