The Albright’s Mill Story
For more than 100 years, Albright’s Mill has been a cornerstone of the small village of Kempton, nestled in rural eastern Pennsylvania, just 70 miles northwest of Philadelphia. Since its founding in 1887, the mill has been on a journey into modern agriculture, manufacturing high-quality animal feeds, custom blends, and concentrates that support local farmers and their livestock. It has seen an evolution over several generations and has stayed true to its commitment to the community.
Today, Albright’s Mill stands proudly along Route 737. The recently renovated warehouse barn, decorated with striking hex signs by local artist Jonathan Bond, is a perfect blend of rustic charm and local artistry. It’s a place where tradition meets a touch of flair—because even an old mill deserves to look sharp.
Since 1964
For more than 40 years under the dedicated ownership of Ronald and Gary Wessner, Albright’s Mill has thrived, balancing tradition with progress. From grain buying, drying, and storage facilities to the creation of Albright’s own line of fresh, locally sourced feeds, the mill remains deeply rooted in its agricultural heritage.
The mill’s history is etched into the heart of the Kempton landscape. During the early 20th century, its proximity to the railroad turned it into a hub of agricultural commerce, shipping potatoes, and grain to brokers in Philadelphia. Its second floor served as a general store offering groceries, hardware, and dry goods, while also housing the Kempton Post Office until the mid-1960s. Even today, the original post office door remains, a tangible link to the past.
The 1960s also marked a new chapter for Albright’s Mill when Robert and Ronald Wessner purchased the business from Robert’s mother, Edna Albright. They modernized operations by adding a grain elevator and expanding into the buying and selling of crops like corn, wheat, soybeans, oats, and barley. Over the decades, the business has grown to include fertilizers, seeds, coal, and other essential farm supplies—all while continuing its tradition of custom milling and feed production.
Realizing the changing agricultural industry, Albright’s Mill made a decision in 2018 to modernize the business. They installed an automatic bagging line, which has allowed them to maximize productivity while keeping employees safe. In addition to producing their own animal feed line, they also offer private label products.
The company is proudly operated by its fifth generation of ownership, continuing the family legacy. Gary’s daughter, Stephanie Stoudt, is excited to join the ownership team and add her modern spin on the changing agricultural environment.
