Kernza is the first crop in a vision to transform how the world grows most of its food. We believe it’s also an opportunity to reimagine how our food system works. We believe a subscription, modeled after the success of Community Supported Agriculture, offers a direct, relationship based path to launching these new crops into the world. 

Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a long established form of local food production. Members join a farm CSA community and pay an upfront fee. In return, during the farming season, members pick out a weekly share of fresh produce, meat, or other products. CSA benefits producers by guaranteeing a market throughout the season and sharing the risk of farming. Members receive high quality food, connection to their local farm, and a community of likeminded eaters. Grains aren't seasonal like produce, and our center aisle products require more processing, but the spirit of a relational, direct path to access delicious foods is rooted in the history of CSA.

After subscribing, you’ll be able to create an account on our website to view your subscription. Once signed in, you can easily cancel, skip, pause, and update your address or payment information.

To start, we’ll be shipping everyone a standard box. You’ll be able to reach out by email, text, or phone to request that we swap certain products before your box ships. We considered more customization, and felt like it became more of a hassle for you while you click around a website, instead of talking directly to us about what you like and don’t like.

A half share has ~7 products and a full share has ~14 products. We use the “~” because sometimes we’ll have larger bags that count for 2 products, like one larger bag of all purpose flour instead of 2. We’re also fans of having fun and including surprises :)

Our food system is intimately intertwined with our ecological crisis. Perennial crops reimagine how food is grown, mimicking natural systems. Perennial crops have large root systems, which build soil, prevent erosion, reduce water pollution, and sequester carbon.

The Land Institute and The University of Minnesota are developing a diverse group of new crops. Kernza® Perennial Grain is the first to market, but many other crops are close behind. Sainfoin perennial bean, perennial rice, winter camelina, hazelnuts and elderberry are ready to begin their journeys into our homes and diets. 

Not right now. We'll focus on producing our diverse array of food products only for members, while continuing to have Kernza flour and grain available to anyone.

Our store is built on Shopify, a well established ecommerce platform providing secure payments. Your card will be charged before each shipment, and you’ll receive email communication ahead of time.
