Discover the incredible nutritional benefits of our organic, non-GMO Hulled Barley! Unlike pearled barley, our Kosher-certified barley has only had its outer husk removed, preserving its natural richness and nutty flavor. Its chewy texture adds heartiness to soups and stews, and it can also be used as a side dish, mixed with other grains, or added to salads for a delicious and wholesome boost of essential minerals.

It all began on the Vetter family farm in 1953. That is when Don Vetter, questioning the science and ethics of the agricultural practices of the day, began to adopt organic farming methods. Don’s son David returned to the farm in 1975 after earning a Bachelor’s Degree in agronomy/soil science from the University of Nebraska. The Vetters were true pioneers, being among the first in the region to take the organic challenge. Their courage and perseverance paid off; the farm was certified organic in 1978, and became The Grain Place, Inc. in 1979. Now a well-established and growing business, Grain Place Foods is operated by a staff of two dozen highly-trained individuals, several of whom have been with the company for over 15 years.
The mission of Grain Place Foods is to provide to its customers grain products that are grown and produced in an ecologically sustainable and socially responsible manner – with the conviction that how your food is produced does matter! Based in Marquette, Nebraska.
