a centennial of community building

our history

Fisher Flour Mills incorporated in 1910 and began milling operations in 1911, establishing the largest flour mill in the western United States. The milling business was headquartered on Harbor Island, nested between what is now downtown Seattle and the nearby neighborhood of West Seattle along the Duwamish Waterway.

To promote the use of its high-quality flour, Fisher came up with the idea of selling piping-hot scones at major fairs, starting out at the Panama Pacific Exposition in San Francisco and soon after at the Puyallup Fair in Washington state. Those delicious Fisher Fair Scones quickly attracted a loyal following. To this day, our original scone recipe continues to delight millions each year as we serve them from the very same booth at the Puyallup Fair where the tradition started nearly 100 years ago.

While scones remain a staple in our product line up, we expanded our offering in 2010 to include a pancake and baking mix, a cornbread mix and a biscuit mix. You can find all of our products on this Web site and in the baking aisle of your local grocery store.

Our Commitment

Fisher believes in building and supporting vibrant communities. We celebrate all that draws people together and nurtures their growth, whether the field of play is in the rolling hills of the Palouse in Eastern Washington where some of our grain is grown, the berry farms of Northern Oregon or the local school or community soccer field.

As a food company, we believe in simply prepared recipes created from high-quality, 100% natural ingredients. Our products nurture families while promoting sustainable farming practices that honor the earth. We work in partnership with local growers to bring you the best of the harvest.

Giving Back

As a core part of our company’s mission, we believe in supporting the health and wellness of families.

We do so through rigorous product development to meet exacting quality and safety standards, and by carefully sourcing ingredients from local farmers. Our commitment extends through a variety of affiliations, including Shepherd’s Grain, an alliance of progressive family farms that grow wheat using sustainable practices across the Northwest. We’re also connected with the Food Alliance of Oregon, which provides the most comprehensive third-party certification for social and environmental responsibility in agriculture and the food industry in North America.

Every year we contribute staff time, in-kind donations and financial resources to many community organizations. One such organization is Treeswing, a non-profit organization, that is a leading voice on children’s health and childhood obesity issues. Our hope is to contribute to a better, healthier future for the nation’s youth.
