Fruited Plain Seeds was founded in 1988 to supply the seed needs for organic farmers. Over the years, we have produced spelt, wheat, oats, buckwheat, soybeans, olive green soybeans, black soy beans, edamame beans, black turtle beans, dark red kidney beans, pinto beans, navy beans, as well as open pollinated sweet corn, and open pollinated dent corn seed of many colors including: yellow, two colors of red and blue. We also have done contract production of cucurbits (squash, pumpkins, cucumbers, and such) for organic garden seed catalog companies.
We have worked in the food industry to identify specific varieties of grain that had specific properties that made them more desirable, such as: better taste, better yield in processing, and more efficiency. I have worked on different food projects, ranging from tofu to whiskey, bread, tortilla chips, coffee, and soy nuts.
Since we had been raising our own pigs and chickens for our own family consumption, in 2012 we added a new building to place additional livestock in order to take advantage of our clean out grain, which up until that time, had been a waste product. Part of our desire to raise this additional livestock, was to supply meat for our food pantry at church, due to it being the hardest product for them to get. We had been raising a number of chickens, whose primary function was to clean up spilled grain around the homestead and keep insect population under control. All of our livestock is raised on our farm on dirt rather than on concrete or over a slatted floor pit. Our livestock is fed with either "clean out grain" or grain that we have raised on our farm. No antibiotics or growth hormones are used in the production of these animals. Our pigs are processed locally at an Indiana State Board of Health inspected facility, and there are no nitrates or gluten added in processing. All that is added is natural hickory smoke to the bacon and spices to the sausage and brats.
We raise Cornish Rock Cross Broilers and they too are fed with grain from our farm. They are also processed at an Indiana State Board of Health inspected facility. All of our beef is primarily grass fed, however they do receive some grain, at appropriate times, and we raise our own hay so that we are able to assure the quality of the hay that we feed to them. Although we feed our animals organic grains, the meat itself, is not certified organic. If we were to certify, which we could, it would not change the quality of the end product, it would only make it more expensive. This allows us to pass along the savings to our customers!!
