Our feet are firmly on the same ground as yours.

Our co-founder, Cale Jefferies, is a fifth-generation seed farmer with deep roots in the Prairies. In 2015, he teamed up with his wife Hailey, who was inspired by the potential of fava to make food more nourishing and sustainable. Together, they set out to unlock the full value of this remarkable bean—from fava to fork.
