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.
Our Long Grain Brown Rice is from McKaskle Family Farm in Braggadocio, Missouri. The seventh generation has joined this farm that has been committed to organic farming for decades. Pioneers in mid-scale regenerative rice production, the McKaskles have adopted practices like reducing water use by transitioning away from flood irrigation, maintaining pollinator and conservation buffers, diversifying their crop rotations, and keeping their soil covered year-round.
