Beechwood Agri Services was opened in July of 1997 by Mr. Paul Kremer and brothers John and Fred O'Neil. Located at 9821 Petty Street Beechwood Agri Services started out with 3 employees. The goal was to operate a full service grain business; offering grain marketing, grain handling, and grain storage.
Twenty years later.......
Beechwood Agri Services now owns and operates 3 branches, employing 16 full time employees. In 2002 the company purchased the second branch located at 123 King Street in Parkhill Ontario. This location currently functions as the head office. All of the conventional marketing is done from this location. In October of 2009 the third branch located at 8502 Birnam Line opened for business. This location served as the main contact point for organic markets but is now a contact point for food grade soybeans. Our Parkhill location is now the main contact point for organic markets and organic food grade beans, as of 2016.
The original Beechwood location now operates as a processing facility for food grade soybeans. Beechwood Agri Services has a state of the art processing line that includes: cleaner, belt sorter, destoner, magnets and color sorter. With this equipment we can ensure a high quality product. Beechwood Agri Services runs a full food grade Identity preserved program(CIPRS), and is dedicated to continual improvement of products and services.
As of January 1st, 2015 Beechwood now operates a steam flaking mill located in Arkona.
