We are on a mission to diversify the crops our farmers grow and the foods we consume with an emphasis on climate-resilient crops. Why? We believe in supporting soil health, personal health, and improving American agriculture.
We picked buckwheat for its taste, nutrition and allergen-free profile. Popular in other parts of the world, we're determined to make buckwheat an American staple.
Buckwheat is climate-resilient and inherently regenerative. Farmers love to grow buckwheat because it is a phosphorus scavenger, weed-suppressor, pollinator-friendly, short-cycle cover crop that helps to regenerate the soil.
By introducing ingredients like buckwheat into delicious products like BAM Buckwheat Milk, we can create the demand farmers need to grow a diversity of crops that have benefits for us, the soil and the future of agriculture. BAM is an invitation for everyone to engage in the agricultural conversation in an approachable way.
Growing up in California’s agricultural heartland, I’ve always had an interest in how food is grown and a respect for those who grow what we eat. The Central Valley has been burdened by drought and water restrictions. Almond orchards are being removed in favor of low-water crops. Seeing this made me rethink my daily almond milk habit, which developed due to a dairy allergy.
Whether for allergen concerns, environmental or health reasons, more of us pick plant-based instead of cow’s milk. I knew buckwheat could be the source for a better milk as it delivers on all fronts: personal health, environmental health, and delicious taste!
BAM is certified organic and made with climate-smart buckwheat, offering a deliciously different way to diversify your diet. Its smooth, slightly nutty flavor is perfect for coffee, overnight oats, smoothies, baking, and more. I can’t wait for you to try it!
Cheers to a better milk!
