P & H Elevators

Parrish & Heimbecker, a company founded by two flour-milling families in 1909, depicts a spirit of honesty and integrity from their humble beginnings to their present day accomplishments. The simple fact that two families remained together in the grain business for 94 years shows the remarkable commitment to their partnership and their basic rural values. 

In a business where hardships and downturns have all but decimated the industry, P&H has not only survived but has prospered as well. Parrish & Heimbecker has grown into a diversified, vertically integrated agri-food company with over 1,000 employees across Canada and customers in more than two dozen countries. 

They are accredited agents for the CWB and the Ontario Wheat Producers Marketing Board and have close working relationships with all other pertinent boards and associations.

It is through the generosity of Mr. W. B. Parrish Sr., that I am able to share the photos and history of the original P& H Elevators. Pictures will change from month to month and as I research more information I will share it with my viewers as quickly as possible. Please enjoy the journey back to 1909.
