Cairnspring Mills is expanding its operations with a second flour mill in Pendleton, Oregon, a project with a total budget of $70.74 million. Construction began in October 2025 and is expected to last 9-12 months. The new facility, located on land leased from the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation, will significantly increase the company's capacity to process identity-preserved grains.
