Maine Grains

This ancient grain was perfected centuries ago, so why mess with perfection? Pearled to decrease cook time, it’s nutty with a touch of warmth. When cooked, it's textured, chewy, and a gorgeous brown.

Sustainable goodness

Maine Grains is zero-waste, and it's reintroducing traditional farming and milling practices to rejuvenate New England grain farms.

Why we love it

Common in Mediterranean dishes, farro is quick to cook and easy to fall in love with, thanks to its earthy, slightly cinnamony taste. In this pearled variety, the rough outer exterior is polished, which means water can come in during cooking and turn this pale, roundish grain into a pleasantly chewy base of any culinary masterpiece.

How it does good

Going back to basics to transform local farming

Grain is a staple in many diets, so it’s no surprise that modern manufacturing expanded to make production bigger and faster, often at the expense of small farmers and their communities. Maine Grains is out to change all that, putting chemical-free farming and a stone milling process back where they started in the Northeast. They support their community in growing crops sustainably, creating jobs while revitalizing the environment. Their focus on traditional practices allows them to provide local bakeries and breweries with great-tasting products and promote soil revitalization with grains as a natural weed deterrent. Their commitment to conservation began with recycling an old jailhouse as a gristmill and led to their becoming a zero-waste facility.

  • responsible sourcing

    Maine Grains maintains relationships with each of the farmers it sources from, helping them to develop eco-friendly growing practices and providing economic support to strengthen their community. Through the Kneading Conference, they support and inspire further innovation in the industry.

  • supporting key causes

    Maine Grains partners with Maine Grain Alliance, a nonprofit promoting innovative and restorative growing practices for local farmers. Maine Grains also works with Maine Liberation Farms to aid immigrant farmers in their development of community, production, and culturally-appropriate practices.

  • low carbon footprint

    All their byproducts are either composted or passed on to other producers for reuse, such as in feed for livestock. This makes Maine Grains a zero-waste facility.

  • recyclable packaging

    The brown paper bag their products come in is curbside recyclable and home compostable. All you have to do to compost is peel off the paper-based sticker and recycle it.

How to use it

Swap out arborio rice for farro to make a knock-your-socks-off risotto.

When you're done...

Good news! This packaging is 100% curbside recyclable. The paper bag is also home compostable, just peel off the sticker first.

These are general guidelines for broadly-recyclable materials. Check with your local recycler to confirm what they take.
