Our story

Six generations, one family.

The Jensen family has played a major role in Brigham City's milling history, going as far back as Lorenzo Snow's original mill built in 1857.

Mads Christian Jensen — a Danish miller by trade — was hand-selected to help settle Brigham City and ran the Box Elder Flour Mill, teaching the trade to his sons. They founded Jensen Brothers Milling in 1909; the name changed to Big J Milling in 1946.

Six generations on, the mill is still run by the same family. The Jensen name has changed through marriage, but the J in Big J still stands for Jensen. Today the mill supplies quality wheat flour to businesses and households across seven western states.

Trusted by bakeries and home kitchens alike

We recommend Big J Milling. They provide us with multiple types of flours year-round and have been able to easily scale with our growth over recent years. The flour we receive from Big J has been consistent and high quality year after year. They have been a great partner to work with and have always been more than willing to be flexible and help us out as needed.

I just wanted to let you know that it's great to find a baker's flour on the grocer's shelf! All other available flours are low in protein and yours is wonderful for my homemade bread. Thank you for making it!
