GROUNDED IN PURPOSE
Urban Mill is a modern Houston grain mill taking shape—bringing fresh-milled flour, the craft of milling, and a deeper connection to the food on our tables.
Our Story
Old Grain.
New Relevance.
Grain has fed people for generations, but somewhere along the way, flour became an afterthought. We pull a bag from the shelf, use it without much thought, and rarely consider the grain, the milling, or how freshness shapes the final flour.Urban Mill brings that connection forward, not backward. Through fresh milling, deeper understanding, and a modern approach to an ancient staple, we’re creating a new reason to think about flour, food, and what nourishment looks like today.
WHAT WE'RE BUILDING
A MODERN MILL,
BUILT WITH INTENTION.
We’re building Urban Mill to serve households, food businesses, and local markets with freshly milled flour, grain-based staples, and practical milling knowledge.Quality food should not feel out of reach. Access is part of our mission, especially in urban neighborhoods and historically underserved areas where fresh, high-quality ingredients may be limited.
MEET THE FOUNDER
BUILT FROM CURIOSITY. SHAPED BY PURPOSE.
Urban Mill grew from Jessica Warren’s search for a more intentional relationship with food and a deeper understanding of the ingredients at the center of everyday cooking.Her background spans Culinary Arts, Traditional Chinese Medicine and herbology, and more than two decades in accounting and operations. Urban Mill brings those worlds together through fresh milling, thoughtful food, and the discipline to build something lasting.
THE LINEUP
FLOUR IS ONLY THE BEGINNING
We’re launching with a core lineup of fresh-milled flours designed for a range of cooking and baking uses, from versatile all-purpose and bread flour blends to hard and soft wheat varieties, plus durum specifically milled for scratch-made pasta.Our pantry will expand to include prepackaged mixes built around fresh-milled grains, followed by small-batch dried pastas and foundational grain staples.Every release we have planned builds on a single idea: quality ingredients, more ways to use them, and a fresh reason to rethink what flour can be.
BEHIND THE SCENES
BE PART OF THE BUILD
We’re laying the foundation for Urban Mill, from fresh-milled flours to small-batch pantry staples. Follow along as we move from build-out to our first milling runs and prepare to bring the lineup to life.
