Ancient Harvest began in 1983—but our story starts thousands of years earlier. When we first encountered quinoa in the early 1980s, it was virtually unknown in the U.S. But we immediately recognized its potential—not as a passing trend, but as a truly exceptional food with deep roots and meaningful nutritional benefits. We source our quinoa from its ancestral home in Bolivia, partnering with more than 2,000 small family farmers across nearly 20,000 acres of high-altitude farmland. By working with Fair Trade Certified and GFSI-accredited partners, we help support farming communities with stable incomes and long-term opportunity—because sustainability starts with people. From organic quinoa and gluten-free pasta to ready-to-heat polenta and plant-based protein blends, our products are designed to deliver real nutritional value—supporting heart health, digestive health, and overall wellness with ingredients that are naturally gluten free, rich in fiber, and packed with plant-based protein. Ancient Harvest was the first brand to develop and market gluten-free alternatives to wheat-based pasta. Today, Ancient Harvest offers a range of top-selling quinoa favorites and has played a paramount role in creating and driving the quinoa market.
