Why We Started Making Organic Einkorn Pasta

From Our Family’s Kitchen to Yours

There’s something special about making food from scratch.

The rhythm of mixing dough.
The sound of grain grinding slowly between stone.
The quiet satisfaction of setting a meal on the table that you know—truly know—inside and out.

For years, we were already doing this with einkorn.
We grew it.
We milled it.
We baked with it.

But pasta?

That was different.

It Started in Our Own Kitchen

As a family, we began making our own pasta from scratch.

And if you’ve ever done that, you know—it’s a lot of work.

You mix the dough.
You roll it out.
You hand-cut it or set up the extruder.
You dry it carefully, cook it right away, or freeze it.
You clean everything up.

It’s doable. But it’s not simple.

We realized something: we wanted einkorn pasta that we could make in bulk, dry properly, store, and cook quickly when life was busy.
We didn’t want convenience food.
We wanted real food… conveniently available.

The First Batches Weren’t for Sale

When we began exploring the idea of professionally producing einkorn pasta, we first started by making some small batches.

It was for our family.

We found a company that could produce small, custom batches for us to test. We wanted to see if the quality would match what we were doing at home.

When we tried it, we were surprised.

We loved it!

So we shared it with our family.
Then friends.

And everyone loved it too.

That’s when the idea shifted.

Maybe this wasn’t just for our table.

If We Were Going to Do It, It Had to Be Done Right

Before we moved forward, we did our research.

One thing became clear: if we were going to make pasta, it had to be bronze cut.

Bronze dies create a rough, porous surface that holds sauce instead of letting it slide off like smooth, mass-produced pasta. It performs differently. It tastes different. It feels different.

Most large-scale pasta is designed for speed and distribution. They use teflon dies instead of bronze.

We wanted our einkorn pasta designed for nutrition and flavor, we wanted an exceptional experience.

We also insisted on slow drying. No rushing the process. No sacrificing structure or flavor.

If we were going to do this, we were going to honor the grain.

What “Farm to Table” Really Means to Us

For us, this pasta isn’t just about flavor and texture.

It’s about confidence.

When I sit down to eat a bowl of our einkorn pasta, I know exactly what’s in it—and what isn’t.

I know what went into the soil.
I know how it was harvested.
I know how it was milled.
I know how it was handled every step of the way.

There’s no guessing.

There are plenty of good products out there. But when food travels through long supply chains—passing through multiple handlers, processors, and transporters—something important gets lost. Not just control, but certainty. The opportunities for contamination or toxic additions at any one of those steps are practically endless.

This is different.

We grow the grain.
We mill it ourselves.
We oversee its transformation into pasta.

That’s what farm to table means to us—not a slogan, but custody of the whole process.

It’s like eating food from your own garden.

You’re getting it direct from the source.

You can have confidence that it is glyphosate free, certified organic, stone milled, nutrient filled, and delicious.

And that brings peace of mind.

Why Accessibility Matters

Our core customers are bake from scratch people.

Just like us.

They mill their own flour.
They bake from scratch.
They value purity.

But we also recognize something important:
Raw grain isn’t accessible to everyone.
Not everyone has a mill.
Not everyone has time to make pasta from scratch.
Not everyone feels confident working with whole grains.

This pasta opens the door wider.

It allows someone who has never milled einkorn before to experience its flavor and benefits.

It allows busy families to eat ancient grain without spending hours preparing it.

Accessibility was a big reason for this release.

We want more people to experience food that is pure and simple—not designed for mass distribution, but crafted with intention.

The Response Has Meant Everything

When we shared the pasta with one of our long-time friends, she was genuinely excited.

“We need more of this,” she said.

More options.
More accessibility.
More real food done right.

And the customer reviews have confirmed what we hoped:

“Not only is this spaghetti tasty but knowing that we are eating healthy and clean brings me great peace of mind!”

“It’s very much like the rustic pasta I smuggle in my luggage from Italy. And it’s good for you!”

“My wife has been eating mostly gluten free due to sensitivity… Einkorn is changing that.”

That word keeps coming up: peace.

And that’s not something you can manufacture.

This Is Bigger Than Pasta

We didn’t start making einkorn pasta because the market needed another noodle.

We started because we wanted something better for our family.

But it has become something bigger.

It’s about shortening the distance between soil and supper.

It’s about maintaining quality control instead of handing it off.

It’s about returning to food that is simple, traceable, and rooted in stewardship.

While other companies may offer einkorn products, few are growing the grain, milling it, and crafting the pasta themselves.

We are just as interested in this as our customers are.

Because at the end of the day, we’re eating it too.

From our farm in Teton to your fork, this pasta represents something we deeply believe in:

Pure grain.
Thoughtfully grown.
Carefully crafted.
Shared with intention.

And it all started in our family’s kitchen.
