Decades-long relationships with local producers. Obsession with quality. Experience in sustainably sourcing the freshest, highest-quality local and regional ingredients. For us, “artisan” isn’t a buzzword; it’s just business as usual.
“We work closely with our farmers, butchers, and seafood providers and use local and regional ingredients in our pasta recipes whenever possible. There’s just no substitution when it comes to the quality, innovation and freshness our customers expect.”
-- Chris Grissom, President and Executive Chef

This state-of-the-art facility is nestled in the heart of southeast Tennessee’s dairy country, where owner John Harrison preserves fine art and craft of cheesemaking.

The Mill at Great Falls
The Mill at Great Falls is located in Montana’s "Golden Triangle" a region in North Central Montana known for its exceptional gluten strength and high protein durum wheat. The wheat fields are located adjacent to The Mill ensuring the wheat is processed at the peak of freshness. Even the Italians, the kings of the craft, source their wheat from the North Central region of Montana. Luckily for us, Montana is just a few states away, providing Alfresco Pasta with the highest quality wheat available to make the highest quality pasta available.
