Our Farm

Over a century in the making.

No one knows flaxseed better than the flax pioneers, The Pizzey family. Manitoba Milling Company is the consumer brand of Pizzey Ingredients, who has been supplying top companies with flaxseed since 1991. Now, we’re proud to  bring the benefits of our premium flaxseed to you and your family. Our four-generation heritage began in the early 1900s. It was our family’s hard work and traditional values that built the foundation for our company and those still continue today.

Good nutrition starts in the field.

Our family has lived in western Manitoba, Canada for more than a century, growing and harvesting flaxseed over multiple generations. The clean, open prairies and cooler temperatures in Manitoba make it an ideal place to grow flax. Our very cold winters aid in seed storage, and the ALA Omega 3 content tends to be higher than U.S. flax due to the cooler growing temperatures. Manitoba Milling Company Flaxseed is grown and processed to ensure it’s gluten-free. We preserve its natural stability and functionality through a proprietary pasteurization system, ensuring consistent quality in each lot.   Our experienced staff carefully examine each lot in our on-site laboratory to ensure adherence to strict microbial, purity, and stability standards.

Quality Process

Manitoba Milling Company uses a proprietary heat treatment process to ensure consistent safety and quality.   Only healthy, uniformly colored seeds are selected for milling. This gives the flaxseed a roasted, nutty, mild flavor. Typical flaxseed flavor characteristics can include a grassy, grainy, or even a sharp taste. Our heat treatment process rounds those flavors out so you only get the premium taste profile of our flaxseed.  Our Smooth Whole-Milled Flaxseed is suitable for use in your smoothies, juice, yogurt, granola, or anything else you can imagine.  The Pizzey family is responsible for more than a handful of product patents when it comes to flaxseed. Our extensive knowledge and passion for flax are just a couple of the reasons why Manitoba Milling Company provides the best smooth milled flaxseed for your family.
