Our Story
Where it all began.
The name Methot’s Mill is deeply rooted in the village where it all began. Founded during the early days of colonization by hardworking lumbermen and laborers, this place was built on grit, resilience, and the determination of people who relied on their own hands to create a future.
At the heart of the village stood Mr. Méthot’s mill, far more than just a building. It was the center of daily life, where timber from the surrounding forests was transformed, where raw materials took shape, and where honest work put food on the table for families.
Over time, the mill became so essential that it gave its identity to the entire community. The village itself came to be known by the mill, as everything started from that single place.
Every plank and every piece of wood carried the mark of men and women who worked tirelessly, day after day. Methot’s Mill is not just a name, it is a legacy. It represents a community built by proud, hardworking people, deeply connected to their land.
The start of a brand.
That is exactly why the brand carries this name today. Methot’s Mill is a return to its roots, a reminder of where it all began and of the value of honest, well-crafted work.
That spirit is the foundation of the brand: respect for hard work, for the land, and for those who never counted their hours.
When Methot's Mill was founded in 2017, the brand was primarily centered around ranching, agriculture, and outdoor labor. It was built for people of the land, manual workers, farmers, and those who live and work outdoors, facing the seasons head-on and earning their living through effort and resilience.
But a living brand evolves with the people who wear it.
Over the years, the Methot's Mill community has grown. Still rooted in hard work, it has also come to include adventurers, hunters, anglers, and outdoor enthusiasts. People driven by the same values: self-reliance, perseverance, respect for the land, and a desire to push further.
It is within this natural evolution that, in 2026, Methot's Mill adopts a new slogan:
THE NORTHERN OUTFITTER.
This slogan represents a deliberate shift, one that honors our heritage while looking forward. It reflects our commitment to remaining a brand built on the values of workers, while also embracing the world of adventure, hunting, fishing, and the outdoors. The choice of Outfitter speaks to our long-term vision: to grow alongside our community and, over time, offer a complete range of products designed for hunting, fishing, and outdoor adventure.
Methot's Mill evolves because the North evolves.
Because those who work hard are often the same ones who explore.
And because heritage is not meant to stand still, but to move forward.
