Organic Gluten-Free Green Lentils

About the producer

Edison Grainery is the culmination of decades of experience and a search for a better and healthier life. In 2009, Amy Barnes became very sick, diagnosed with several different cancers, as well as Celiac disease. For the next two years, husband Jeffrey became her primary caregiver and noticed that healthful foods often came with steep prices, --anything that had a "special" label like gluten-free, organic, green, etc.

From his decades of work in the grain industry, Jeffrey knew how much the raw ingredients cost, and he could see that the end products could be marked up 200% or more. Frustrated that people who were trying to take care of their health and the planet had to pay such extraordinary prices, the Barnes family founded Edison Grainery.

In 2011, they started out very small – renting a 9x13 foot space in a public warehouse. By the late summer of 2012, Edison Grainery was bursting at the seams in their tiny space, and they were able to relocate into a 24,000 square foot warehouse facility in Oakland, giving them room to move and grow! The family business is now run by their daughter Lyndsy, who continues to bring affordable premium organic foods to consumers.
