F-R-M Feeds – 100 YEARS IN THE MAKING
We have been writing this story for almost 100 years and we are so excited to share it with you! Enjoy this teaser of what’s to come!
Note from 850 Productions:
I’ve been sitting on this one for a while now and I am so excited to finally share it.
850 Media Productions has been hired by Flint River Mills in Bainbridge, Georgia to produce a documentary film for their 100th anniversary. If you’re from anywhere in the southeast and you’ve ever fed cattle, deer, chickens, dogs, or really any animal, there’s a very good chance you’ve seen those red, white, and blue F-R-M bags at your local feed store. I know I have. I grew up around this brand my whole life so when they reached out to us last year about telling their story, I couldn’t say yes fast enough.
Flint River Mills is one of the last independently owned regional feed mills left in the southeast. They’ve been manufacturing and delivering feed out of this same facility in Bainbridge since 1927. Almost 100 years. No robots, no automation. Every bag of feed that leaves that mill is touched by human hands. They have employees that have been there 20, 30, even 40+ years. They run their own fleet of red trucks, rebuild their own engines, and deliver directly to dealers and customers across the region. Everything is done in house by good people who genuinely care about what they do.
Today I got to tour the entire facility and start wrapping my head around just how massive this project really is. Walking through that mill, seeing the operation up close, the grain bins towering overhead, bags coming off the line, trucks pulling in and out… it hit me how special this place is and how important it is that their story gets told the right way.
Over the coming months we’ll be on site filming interviews, capturing the day-to-day operation, and documenting the people and the history that make F-R-M what it is. This is going to be a good one.
Thank you to the team at Flint River Mills for trusting 850 with this project. It’s not every day you get to create something for a company you’ve personally bought from and seen your whole life. That means a lot.
More to come. Stay tuned.
