Kathy Sidell’s earliest memories bring her back to food. At age five she was taken with her grandmother’s artistry in the kitchen, and even more so by the big family meals shared on the front porch of their seaside home. Though raised among foodies - her mother, a talented home entertainer; her banker father who single-handedly is credited for building the restaurant business in Boston; and her sister, now a chef and restaurateur - Kathy’s route to food was not as linear.

When Bob Quinn was a kid, a stranger at a county fair gave him a few kernels of an unusual grain. Little did he know, that grain would change his life. Years later, after finishing a PhD in plant biochemistry and returning to his family's farm in Montana, Bob started experimenting with organic wheat. In the beginning, his concern wasn't health or the environment; he just wanted to make a decent living and some chance encounters led him to organics.
