About Us

Discover the future of baking with 40 Century Grain! We offer innovative baking mixes crafted with Kernza, a revolutionary grain grown using regenerative agricultural practices. As a public benefit corporation, we're dedicated to protecting our planet while providing you with delicious and wholesome ingredients. From delectable cookies to other exciting treats, 40 Century Grain makes it easy to bake, enjoy, and contribute to a healthier Earth with every bite.

Our name pays homage to F.H. King's groundbreaking book "Farmers of Forty Centuries," which documented agricultural practices that maintained soil fertility for 4,000 years. We're creating planet-positive baking mixes while delivering exceptional flavor.

Founded by a group of agricultural innovators, food system experts, and environmental advocates, 40 Century Grain emerged from a shared vision to transform our relationship with food. Our team combines backgrounds in sustainable supply chains, plant science, and specialty food markets to create products that demonstrate the delicious potential of planet-positive agriculture.

Every product we make features ingredients like Kernza® perennial grain, with massive 10-foot roots that sequester carbon and build soil health.

We partner with farmers who are pioneers in the transition to more resilient agricultural systems, so every purchase you make helps support Bee Better Certified farms that create habitats for native pollinators. 

Founded in Minnesota, we're building a regional grain economy that connects consumers directly to the land. Each purchase supports agricultural practices that sequester carbon, enhance soil health, and protect water quality—turning everyday food choices into meaningful climate action.

Taste the difference that climate-positive baking makes.
