Hoffmeyer's Mill was established in 1906 by Henry Hoffmeyer. It was previously a wooden well-pump factory. The original mainline-shaft dates back to the 1870's. Additional equipment has been added over the years to manufacture wooden sash/storm windows along with retail lumber and building materials. When Henry died in 1926 his son Lorne took over the business. Lorne retired in 1945, selling the mill to his nephews/employees Carl and Otto Stoskopf. In 1974 Carl and Otto sold the business to John and Sharon Ogilvie effectively making them the second family to run the business. Otto and longtime employee Stan Schellenberger continued to work with John since he only had business sense and knew little about carpentry and lumber. Carl and son Steve Strasser also came onboard during the 70's. John and Sharon's son Reg began working in the mill fulltime in 1987.Then 10 years later, Reg made the next major step in placing the Mill online in June of 1997 with steady growth ever since. January 2005 son Reg and wife Ruth Ann purchased the mill from John and Sharon after they achieved more than 30 years of operation of this business. Skeptics have long since silenced, for now we are in our 35th year and have entered the 21s century... still working on 19th century technology! We now help support 7 local families with the employment of our staff.
