The company recognized this achievement with an outdoor barbecue, which included mill tours, live local entertainment and prizes.

The event was held on July 23 at its main feed mill in Abbotsford, British Columbia, and was supported by the attendance of nearly 500 guests, including customers, suppliers, staff, friends and industry connections.

The mill tours of the three facilities (a designated poultry feed mill and dairy mill as well as a premix plant) demonstrated to guests the quality control, manufacturing practices and innovation behind their products.

Jake Friesen started with Clearbrook Grain & Milling back in 1953, and over the years, enjoyed working with his children, three of whom are still currently involved in the business – Richard, Marvin and Melinda.

The company was built on loyalty, fairness, respect and hard work – characteristics that remain part of the company’s foundation today and contribute to its ongoing success.

Many of Clearbrook Grain & Milling’s customers have been conducting business with the family for more than 30 years.

Clearbrook Grain & Milling also recognized the important contributions and efforts from their staff in reaching this important milestone.  PD
