We source Kernza® Perennial Grain from the city of Edgerton, MN. Their Kernza field surrounds the city’s drinking water wells. They’ve seen a 40% reduction in nitrate pollution of their water since planting Kernza! The world’s first commercially viable perennial grain, Kernza grows for multiple years and establishes a deep root system. These roots build soil, prevent water pollution, sequester carbon, and grow a plant that produces a healthy, delicious grain.
