The roots of Sunny Boy Foods date back to 1926 when Sunny Boy used local grains to mill whole wheat flour in partnership with farmers around Camrose, Alberta.
Today, its Canadian-owned mill buys local rye, wheat, barley, and flax to produce breakfast cereals, flours, pancake mixes, and waffle mixes. The head office of the company is in Edmonton, Alberta, while the company mill is still located in Camrose.
As it did almost a hundred years ago, Sunny Boy still supports small farming practices. It helps to secure local food production by giving local farmers the opportunity to sell and therefore to grow.
