Simpson Seeds

Simpson Seeds is Saskatchewan's largest independently owned pulse processor and exporter of special crops, pulse flour ingredients, and contract milling services. Founded in 1979 by Greg Simpson and now led by President & CEO Elyce Simpson Fraser, the company operates as a family-owned business headquartered in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, Canada. Its FSSC 22000-certified pulse flour mill supplies food manufacturers across Canada, the United States, Europe, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East.

The company specializes in a range of pulse-based ingredients, including red lentil flour, yellow lentil flour, chickpea flour, and fava bean flour — available in both raw and precooked formats. These flours are valued for their plant-based protein content, dietary fiber, clean mild flavor, and smooth texture, making them suitable for incorporation into a wide variety of food products. Pulse flours sourced from local Saskatchewan farms offer food manufacturers a clean-label, nutritious ingredient with a low environmental footprint.

Beyond pulse flour milling, Simpson Seeds handles the full supply chain for whole and split pulses, managing processing, packaging, shipping, and export logistics. The company also operates as a licensed grain buyer, working directly with international markets to stay aligned with current pricing and global demand trends. As certified seed growers, they maintain rigorous crop standards and offer premium seed varieties annually through their Select Seed program.

Simpson Seeds holds multiple certifications that support its position as a trusted global ingredient supplier: FSSC 22000 (food safety management), Kosher, Halal, and FDA Registered Facility status. These credentials make the company well-suited to serve a diverse base of international food manufacturers with varying regulatory and dietary requirements.

The company offers buyer services that encompass ingredient sourcing, export facilitation, and contract milling partnerships, while its grower services support local Saskatchewan farmers with access to seed varieties and market connections. This dual-facing model reinforces its role as a key node in the pulse crop value chain from farm to finished ingredient.
