We are NJ farmers regenerating the land that powers our home

Our journey began with a desire to live more sustainably. Along the way, we became farmers and discovered a deeper connection to the land, the food we grow, and the community around us.

Embracing a Regenerative Way of Life

From the fields to the farm, stories about growing good food and living closer to the land.

Grown with CareShared with Community

The Regenerative Farm

Our 10.5 acres of heirloom grain crops are cultivated using organic, regenerative practices that restore soil health, protect wetlands, and support the surrounding ecosystem.

Local Farmers, Local Hands

Once harvested, our grain is entrusted to local farmers and mills across New Jersey, who help process it with care while keeping production small-batch and close to home.

To Your Kitchen

From our fields to your kitchen, every bag of grain carries the story of regenerative farming — nourishing your family while giving back to the land it came from.

These groats are nutty, chewy, filling, and oh-so-addictive!

Deb and Jason DeSalvo grow far more than exceptional grains - they are regenerating the land with extraordinary care and purpose.

I feel fortunate every time their harvest makes its way from their New Jersey farm to my table in Ohio.

Rouge de Bordeaux is exceptional. One of the best wheats I have tasted.

Out of this Eden, come the best grains grown.

Songbirds of every type and hue. Flowering wild meadows humming with life. An ecological sanctuary for the endangered. Out of this Eden, come the best grains grown. Every mouthful redolent of the land, it’s looks, smells and sounds.

I love knowing that I’m supporting a farm that cares so deeply about the health of the soil, the food and the community.

This unrelenting care for the process shines through in their exceptional product.

When I began this 100% whole grain baking journey my mentor, Jonathan Bethony of SeylouBakery and Mill, told me to always think of the farmer first as they are the driving force behind this craft. In hindsight, I think he was talking about farmers like Jason and Deborah. The DeSalvo's are driven entirely by a real passion for grain and an intense desire to shift growing practices in the Northeast towards a model rooted entirely in sustainability.

Their honey and grains are inspirationally good; their contribution to our shared good health is priceless.

Jason and Deborah are showing that Organic leadership is not just about certification and sales.

Jason and Deborah bring a much-needed zeal to NJ’s farming community, living out a commitment to organic practices, growing community, and helping to revive NJ’s small grains economy.
