Our Company
We are Basic Grain Products, Inc. — a trusted clean-label ingredient partner dedicated to delivering exceptional grain ingredients that enable food companies to make products people feel good about eating.
Basic Grain Products, Inc. began as a specialty oat miller with a simple mission: provide food companies with grain ingredients that are genuinely clean, consistently high quality, and backed by real expertise. More than three decades later, that mission remains unchanged — even as our product range and capabilities have grown considerably.
From our facility in Burnaby, British Columbia, we serve food manufacturers across Canada and the United States, offering a comprehensive portfolio of milled oats, wheat, barley, rye, corn, specialty seeds, and functional flours. We are your single-source ingredient advantage.
Our scope is broad but our values are simple — just as they were the day Basic Grain was founded. We care enough to always do what is right. That means honest pricing, reliable supply, transparent sourcing, and a team that picks up the phone when you need them.
We anticipate your needs rather than simply reacting to them — from supply chain planning to formulation guidance and regulatory updates.
Rigorous quality controls from field through milling ensure the ingredients you receive today perform exactly as the ones you tested months ago.
We are selective about the growers and suppliers we work with, prioritizing those who share our commitment to responsible land stewardship and fair practices.
Full lot-level traceability across our supply chain means you always know exactly where your ingredients come from and how they were processed.
State-of-the-art milling and processing facilities designed specifically for food-grade grain production, with rigorous food safety systems at every stage.
Our milling lines are configured for precision — delivering consistent particle size, moisture content, and microbial specification across every production run. We specialize in oat milling but operate flexible lines for barley, wheat, rye, and corn as well.
Our on-site quality lab performs rapid incoming grain assessment, in-process checks, and finished product testing — including moisture, protein, fat, fibre, and microbial analysis — so quality decisions are made at the source, not weeks later.
From bulk supersacks and bags to consumer-ready retail packaging, our facility handles the full spectrum of packaging formats. Private-label and co-packing services are available for qualifying customers.
Temperature-monitored grain storage systems preserve ingredient integrity from receipt to shipment. Our silo and bin management programs actively prevent commingling, pest pressure, and moisture migration.
We ship by bulk tanker, railcar, full truckload, and less-than-truckload throughout Canada and the continental United States. Our logistics team manages scheduling and documentation to keep your production line running on time.
Our facilities operate under comprehensive HACCP-based food safety plans, with third-party SQF-aligned audits conducted annually. Allergen control, sanitation verification, and metal detection are embedded in every processing line.
A significant share of our grain supply is sourced directly from farm — which means our grower relationships are not just transactional. We invest time in the fields, understand local growing conditions, and work alongside farmers to help them produce the highest-quality food-grade grain possible.
Beyond price, we support our growers with agronomic insights from our crop sciences team, access to our Sustainable Grower Program, and clear, predictable quality specifications so farmers know exactly what we need — and can plan accordingly.
When we strengthen our growers, we strengthen the integrity of every ingredient we ship. That is not just good business — it is the right way to build a supply chain.
From regenerative agriculture partnerships to energy efficiency in our mills, sustainability is built into our operational DNA — not bolted on as an afterthought.
A free, voluntary program open to any farmer committed to sustainable growing — regardless of whether they supply grain to us. Better stewardship benefits the whole industry.
Mill by-products are repurposed as livestock feed ingredients, eliminating landfill waste while creating value for agricultural producers in our region.
We actively support cover cropping, reduced tillage, and soil health monitoring initiatives among our contracted growers, with measurable targets reviewed annually.
Our facilities have undergone progressive energy audits with ongoing investments in efficient milling equipment and lighting to reduce our operational carbon footprint.
Water use is monitored across all processing operations with targets for year-over-year efficiency improvements and responsible discharge practices.
We publish an annual environmental stewardship report covering our key sustainability metrics, progress on goals, and commitments for the coming year.
