We would like to announce that for only the 4th time in 123 years Meadows Mills is currently changing ownership. We are right here processing existing orders with no immediate change. We apologize for the inconvenience, but we are pausing new orders for manufactured equipment and parts as we complete our current orders and complete our change in ownership. We are happy to continue processing purchased parts such as bearings, sprockets, and belts during this transition and our sales counter remains open to our local customers during this time from 8:00am until 5:00pm daily. We will begin accepting and processing orders for new manufactured equipment and parts as soon as possible. We do not expect the changeover to take more than 3 to 4 weeks. We will be processing existing orders at this location through 4/30/2026.

If you call our office you will be greeted with this same message and instructions for calling for technical assistance or to inquired about existing orders. Orders for stone burr mills, hammer mills, sifting equipment, and fans will resume within the next two weeks and instructions for those orders will be forthcoming. Sawmill, lumber handling and saw sharpening orders will resume after that.

We will update this release as we complete this transaction. Thank you for your patience as we navigate this change.
