Featuring Kernza® perennial grains. The healthy, nutrient-dense, non-GMO food & flour ingredient.
What We Do
Large-scale environmental and soil conservation through agroforestry and the deep root systems of perennial crops, driven by the growing global demand and momentum for climate-positive food, food ingredients, carbon sequestration & carbon credits.
Agroforestry and continuous living cover crops provide safe & diverse food sources, create far-reaching positive environmental benefits, protect our vital water supplies, sequester high amounts of carbon, and generate carbon credits.
Perennial crops are planted once, grown without herbicides, then harvested for several seasons without replanting. These emerging crops, like Kernza perennial grain, enhance productivity and promote long-term farmland health.
Early adoption efforts in the last 20 years created the groundswell of Kernza popularity and support, the flavor and benefits of Kernza are widely known.
Today, the expanding Arcola Farms Grower Network brings wide adoption and scale to environmental conservation, freshwater & habitat protection, carbon sequestration, and a vibrant food supply.
As a vital food source, it allows food and beverage companies and product manufacturers to incorporate high nutrition, toxin-free perennial grains into their existing product lines.
For consumers, school systems, chefs, and institutional food providers, it delivers great flavor and taste as a high protein, high fiber, plant-based whole food.
As a grain and flour grown without genetic modification or herbicides/pesticides, there is no gluten sensitivity that plagues our highly processed food supply today.
It is a return to the unprocessed, toxin-free cereal wheat grain and flour foods that taste good, are good for you, and are good for the planet.
For far-reaching social and local impact, Kernza addresses food insecurity, supporting local communities and families who need access to fresh, sustainably grown food, with simple to prepare recipes with Kernza flour and grain.
"It's a big win for the quality of human health and our food supply, for farmers and their soil, for the critical conservation and protection of our waterways and habitat, and for the economic development that comes to the states where Arcola deploys this innovative solution".
"It fits the regenerative theme developing in this country. Perennial crops are here".
From our start on the Wisconsin family farm
"The Arcola mission to use the latest in regenerative agriculture innovation as a human health solution, and a planet health solution, allow us to make global impact starting in the Midwest, where the Headwaters of the Mississippi River begin the journey to carry our solutions to the Gulf of Mexico. Public health outcomes improve when we first address the most important part of health...The soil" ~ David Stennes, Founder
Through collaboration partnerships with our expanding network of enrolled farmers and growers, Arcola exists to create highly impactful positive changes to farmland soil health, the environment, vital fresh water supplies, and human and planet health, at scale.
Our forward-thinking work seeks to broaden the impact and reach of natural and regenerative agricultural practices, in an era where degraded farmland soil has global consequences.
Arcola is a leader in innovation and commercialization of the next generation of University researched and created perennial crops, that return each spring on their own without the need (and expense) of annually replanting them.
With full vertical integration, we coordinate the closed-loop sustainable farming and food supply chain, from the seed that's planted, to the crops that are harvested, to the products that are created. We are the conduit between growers and their crops, and the markets we serve.
"As food and beverage companies commit to using small blends of Kernza, the wholesome and delicious cereal grain is poised for wide adoption."
Cultivating better soil for superior food and a healthier planet for generations to come, Arcola is proud to be transforming the future of farming and food.
