Maple Drive Farms in southern Michigan have introduced ancient, specialty grains into the crop rotation.

This business unit of the farm, Tenera Grains, sells the processed ingredients to the Smiths’ daughter, Claire, who uses them to produce and sell granola and other packaged goods through her company, Teffola.
