Millstone Coffee is brewing up some organic growth. The company, owned by jam and jelly giant, The J. M. Smucker Company, is one of the largest gourmet coffee makers in the US. It specializes in the manufacture of roasted coffees, as well as flavored, decaffeinated, and organic coffees. The Millstone brand has been breaking ground in fair trade coffees in recent years and now offers Fair Trade Certified coffee through its Millstone Organic Mountain Moonlight brand. The company also makes private-label coffee for such retailers as Publix (Brothers brand) and Wal-Mart (Veneto's brand). The company became a subsidiary Smucker's as part of that company's purchase of the Folgers operations from P&G in 2008.

Millstone Coffee is a brand of coffee sold in the US, a division of The J. M. Smucker Company. The company sells whole bean and ground coffee in retail settings and on its website.

Company history

The company was founded in Everett, Washington in 1981. Founder Phil Johnson sold 100 pound sacks of Arabica beans to high-end coffee shops in the greater Seattle Area, and pioneered the idea of selling whole-beaned coffees to supermarkets.

Johnson sold the company to Procter and Gamble in 1996, which closed down most of the Everett operation and runs the company out of Ohio. Johnson took the assets P&G did not purchase and created the Cascade Coffee company, which continues to do business in Everett.

In January, 2008, Procter & Gamble announced plans to create an independent company named The Folgers Coffee Company. The company consisted of three segments: Retail, Commercial, and Millstone.[1]

On November 6, 2008, The J. M. Smucker Company announced the completion of its merger with The Folgers Coffee Company.[2]
