Snacks

These picks turn fruits, nuts, grains, and other farm-grown ingredients into fun bites while supporting regenerative agriculture and healthier soil.

These organic clusters from a Kiss the Ground Partner are sweet, salty, and seriously snackable.

Alter Eco

40 Century Grain

This crunchy mix features perennial grains like Kernza^® that come back season after season.

Found on our Regenerative Farm Map, the Burroughs family has five generations of farming behind their tasty roasted almonds.

Burroughs Family Farms

Perennial grains, like Kernza^®, can return season after season. This allows their roots to remain in the soil longer, reducing ground disturbance and saving farmers money on seed, fuel, and labor costs. They can also develop an average of four times the root mass of annual wheat, helping to hold soil in place while supporting underground water and nutrient cycling.

Old Dog Ranch

Old Dog Ranch is the first ROC^® walnut farm!

Sol Simple

These ROC^® mangos are picked ripe and dried in small batches using solar dehydrators.

Jackie’s Homemade Gummy Bears

You’ll need:

1.5 cups organic 100% fruit juice (like Wild Oats ROC^® Watermelon Juice)
3 Tbsp grass-fed gelatin
1 Tbsp raw honey (Check out our Baking Guide)

Instructions:

Pour juice into a small saucepan and turn the stove to med-low heat.
Add gelatin and whisk for 3 min, or until fully dissolved.
Add a spoonful of honey for sweetness.
Pour mixture into a gummy bear mold and cool in the freezer for 15 min.
Pop out and serve!

Lil Bucks

Tastes like birthday cake, fills you up, and supports healthy soil?! Now that’s worth celebrating!

Food isn’t the only part of lunch that starts on a farm. Reusable lunch bags—like this one from Simple Ecology—can be made from agricultural materials like organic cotton. Look for certifications like GOTS, which includes requirements from the growing and harvesting of organic fibers through manufacturing.

Patagonia Provisions

Classic cheese crackers get a regenerative twist with ROC^® wheat. Bonus: they’re dairy free!

Babylife Organics

Strawberries and figs are made even sweeter because they’re ROC^®.

Pouches

These grab-and-go picks pack fruits, vegetables, grains, and more into convenient pouches from brands supporting organic, regenerative, biodynamic, and soil-minded farming.
