The small flour mill thrives thanks to the hydraulic power of the La Loue river. Les Moulins de Pourquoi joined the Moulins Nicot in 1990. In 1724, the lord of La Loye authorized Joseph Roland, the owner of the site, to build a dam on La Loue. Over time, grinding wheels and turbines improve productivity. It must be said that the geographical location between Dole and Lons-le Saunier is ideal. Then, the site belongs to the Cantenot family, which owns up to three production units in the region. In the 1980s, Paul Cantenot joined the Banette group. It is a forerunner that is also developing a marketing activity for flour silos. As he has no successor, he turns to Joseph Nicot, miller in Chagny (71), who acquires 51% of the capital alongside the Beaune-Verdun-Seurre and Interval cooperatives. Les Moulins de Pourquoi preserve their autonomy and their Franche-Comté culture, a sense of service and proximity.
