We’re bringing california’s most overlooked native Food back to the mainstream
(and Adapting other native crops)
The Future Of Food is in its roots
-
Acorn: a Native Superfood
This native food has been eaten for uncounted centuries from Ireland to China and across North America. It’s healthier than grains, requires no irrigation, and is adapted to survive drought, fires, floods and more. That makes it ideal for a changing climate. The time to revive acorn cultivation is now.

Lupini Beans: A dry-farmed Protein
Funded by the National Science Foundation, we are breeding a new plant-based protein crop from native Californian lupini. With 40% crude protein by volume, it is ideal for the $350B plant based protein market.

Land Conservation: Carbon credits
The best way to fight climate change is planting trees - and keeping the ones we have standing. If you own old growth native forest - or you’re replanting one - and want to monetize it, check out our program.
WHY native foods?
We can fix agriculture by changing what we grow - and how we grow it.
For 150 years, our agriculture has altered the land to fit crops. And it isn’t working.
Crop failures, water shortages, and habitat destruction are all natural outcomes of our current agronomic system.
A farm should look like the wild space that surrounds it.
By adapting plants that grow naturally to the habitat we have, we can create a symbiotic relationship with the land that creates food security, saves trillions of gallons of water, and protects habitat and biodiversity for generations.
