Cairnspring Mills is expanding its artisan flour mill in Washington state to meet rising demand for locally sourced, traceable grain products. The project is located in a TEA-qualified area and has filed its I-956F with USCIS. This rural EB-5 offering is structured as a 5-year subordinated loan, supported by existing operations and a growing customer base.
Regenerative flour milling
Cairnspring Mills is expanding its proven craft flour model with a new mill in rural Oregon, a location that qualifies for EB-5 visa set-asides and priority processing. The project is fully funded and backed by a 50-year site lease, reducing development risk. With over 490 jobs projected—well above program requirements—and a straightforward five-year loan structure, this offering is designed to support both immigration success and timely repayment of invested capital.
Cairnspring Mills is building its second facility, the Blue Mountain Mill, on a long-term leased site within the Umatilla Indian Reservation in Northeast Oregon. The 50-year lease provides stability for the project while supporting local economic development in a rural area that qualifies for EB-5 priority processing.
While craft markets in coffee, beer, and chocolate have grown significantly in the U.S., flour remains largely overlooked. Craft flour accounts for less than 2% of a $63 billion market. With rising demand for regenerative, premium food products, Cairnspring Mills is well-positioned to serve high-end bakeries, chefs, and foodservice providers seeking greater transparency, quality, and sustainability.
Cairnspring Mills produces craft flour using regeneratively grown grains and traditional stone milling. This method preserves nutrients and enhances flavor while supporting regional agriculture. The new Blue Mountain Mill will triple the company’s production capacity, enabling it to meet growing demand while maintaining its commitment to quality and sustainability.
Craft flour is underrepresented in the U.S. food supply chain. Consumers and professional bakers alike are increasingly seeking traceable, nutrient-rich, and environmentally responsible ingredients. Cairnspring’s model—partnering with regenerative farms and focusing on flour varietals and terroir—aligns with long-term market trends and opens a clear path for scale.
The project is expected to generate 496 new jobs—more than four times the 120 required to support all EB-5 investors. This 280% job cushion reflects employment created through construction, mill operations, and the project’s integrated grain supply chain. Jobs will benefit both the local workforce and the network of regional regenerative farmers supplying the mill.
Cairnspring generated $6.1M in revenue in 2024 with a 42% gross profit margin. With the Blue Mountain Mill coming online in 2026, revenue is projected to reach $118M by 2033. Growth will be driven by bulk flour sales, branded retail expansion (direct-to-consumer and grocery), and private label partnerships with established names such as King Arthur Baking.
The Blue Mountain Mill project is funded through a mix of secured debt, equity, and EB-5 capital: • $35M secured debt from Steward • $11.6M equity investment • $10.4M EB-5 raise This capital structure supports a capital-efficient and scalable expansion plan.
Cairnspring’s partners include Steward (impact lender) and the Umatilla Indian Reservation (site leaseholder), reflecting both mission and operational alignment. The team brings deep experience in food systems, regenerative agriculture, and craft milling.
Cairnspring Mills is powered by a diverse team of millers, bakers, engineers, and food system advocates. Grounded in a shared commitment to sustainability, the team brings deep expertise and a hands-on approach to building a better food supply—one that values transparency, regional sourcing, and regenerative practices.
