The next time you’re in the lovely Sandhills town of Valentine, be sure to stop for a visit at Old Mill Bulk Foods. Even if you’re not shopping for a sack of flour or a bag of dried beans, this shop has way more than bulk foods to offer. In fact, it whips up some of the best sandwiches and baked goodies in the whole state of Nebraska.

Old Mill Bulk Food was founded by a family who moved from Ohio to Valentine. They missed the bulk food stores that were common in the Buckeye State, so they created their own version right here in Nebraska.

The store sells a variety of pantry staples, candy, snacks, and drinks. You may not be able to do all of your grocery shopping here, but it’s a great place to stop if you’re baking and realize you’ve somehow run out of flour.

Tragically, a fire devastated the first iteration of the business in 2018. But like true hard-working Nebraskans, the owners reopened the store and even added some improvements while they were at it.

The bakery items at Old Mill are legendary, especially the cinnamon rolls and pecan rolls. Cookies, cupcakes, cakes, dinner rolls, scones, and bread loaves all fly off of the shelves.
