Why It Matters

Food is medicine

Our corns carry protein higher than you can find anywhere else, with significant advancement in the essential amino acids, and the highest level of anthocyanins (colors) of any grain. Anthocyanins are antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-aging and anti-cancer. They boost the immune system, help the microbiome and gut health, and help the body heal damaged cells.

Bred where corn is not supposed to grow

Everything is grown dryland, in a drought region of Montana, on low nitrogen soil, in short cold seasons. The plants have come through severe drought and days over 100°F while pollinating. What survives that is what we keep.

In the 1929–1930s Montana experienced the Great Drought. The only grain that survived to keep the homesteaders alive was corn the settlers got from the Indians. I am the only person who saved that corn, and it is in almost all of my genetics.

Seed you own

These are open-pollinated, genetically diverse corns. You can save your own seed year after year, and the corn will keep adapting to your own ground. That is food security that no one can take away from a family.
