Established in 1904, The Joggerst Milling Company (now The Mill) has now been owned by the same family for 50 years.
The first function of the mill was as a grain elevator by the Nanson
Commission Company to serve, what was then, a rural farming community. Loads
of grain were pumped into steam locomotive cars for the Frisco Railroad, farmers
carted feed away in wagons and buggies, or in burlap sacks put on the backs of
horses and Missouri mules. .
The grain elevator operated until 1937, when it was purchased by Frank X.
Joggerst, who had been a miller with his father since the age of 14. The Joggerst's
immediately dismantled the grain elevator and built three floors to convert the
building to a flour mill, which continued to operate until 1946. That year, the building
was once again converted to feed-mixing and sales.
It was then purchased by Norman A. Eshbaugh in 1970, and he started selling
dog and horse feed, wild bird seed, farm and poultry needs, and rabbit feed. He ran it
until he retired in the early 1990's. It passed through a series of renters until his daughter,
Mary, opened The Mill to run herself.

Mary ran The Mill until 2024, where she kept it in the family and sold to her son and his wife, Jeff and Amy.
Now, we carry on many of the same traditions of this third generation locally owned feed store. We sell dog and horse feed, wild bird seed, deer corn, and poultry needs but now we also include local honey, local pet treats, cat food, yard needs, handmade gifts, pest control and much more.
We are located just seconds from I-55 at Imperial. Take the Imperial
exit and head east on Main Street for 0.2 of a mile. Turn left on 1st Street, by Herrell's market, and drive straight until you reach The Mill.
Thanks and we hope to see you soon!
