Bala Jee Rice Mill

Bala Jee Rice Mill sits right on Namour Road. It is a place that feels familiar to anyone who has lived around here for a while. We don't have any big corporate signs or shiny glass windows. The building is made of bricks and mortar that have seen many seasons. On Namour Road, the rhythm of life is mostly tied to the crops. When it’s time for the rice to come in, we are working around the clock. The smell of raw grain is everywhere. We have a small crew of people who have been with us for a long time. We don't talk much about goals or strategies. We just talk about the weather and how the machinery is holding up. Sometimes we have to stop everything to fix a leak in the roof or clear a blockage in the pipes. It is a hands-on kind of place. You won't find anyone sitting in a fancy office here. Even the person in charge is usually out on the floor with grease on their hands. We like the honesty of the work. It is simple and it is necessary. People know us as the mill on Namour Road where things get done without any drama. We don't try to be anything we are not. We just run the mill and try to keep our neighbors happy by not making too much noise late at night.
