Red River Commodities Inc

At Red River Commodities, it isn’t just about the sunflower seeds that go into our products, we cultivate connections, nourish communities, and pioneer innovation in the human and animal food sectors. Founded in 1973 as a specialty grain trading company, we’ve grown into a multi-location operation powered by a team with decades of experience, fresh ideas, and a shared passion for the specialty market of sunflowers.

For over 50 years, we’ve proudly operated under the same name, and we were recognized as one of the Top 20 Great Places to Work in Fargo-Moorhead in 2024 and 2025—a testament to our people-first culture.

From fields to our facilities, we’re powered by people who care deeply about what they do. We partner directly with local growers to source the freshest grains at the best possible prices. Our facilities are strategically located in the heart of sunflower and grain-growing regions, ensuring quality from farm to shelf.

Our diverse product lines include: SunButter®, a delicious, allergen-friendly sunflower spread; roasted, seasoned, and packaged inshell sunflower seeds; and numerous premium bird food mixes including Pecking Order ®, our backyard chicken treat line.

Our team shows up daily ready to collaborate, support, and motivate one another. The work can be fast-paced and challenging, but we prioritize the well-being of our employees through health benefits, paid time off, and community involvement. We believe in showing up for each other and winning together.

With multiple locations, safety is at the core of everything we do, ensuring every team member goes home in the same condition they arrived.

Whether you’re working in one of our plants or based in the corporate office, you’ll find an energetic, collaborative environment grounded in purpose. It’s not always easy, but it’s always rewarding. At Red River Commodities, there’s a place for you here.
