Organic at PURIS

Proven Genetics. Certified Processing. A Committed Organic Partner.

Organic farming demands more: from seed genetics, from markets, and from partners.

Built for Organic Systems, from the Field Forward

PURIS genetics are developed using conventional breeding methods only, with no genetic modification or gene editing. This approach produces seed that performs under the realities of organic production, where genetics must carry more of the load.

Our varieties are selected for:

  • Early vigor and strong emergence
  • Competitive canopy development for weed suppression
  • Disease tolerance without synthetic inputs
  • Stable yields under variable fertility and moisture

These traits are the result of decades of selection in environments that closely reflect organic field conditions.

Decades of Organic Processing Experience

Organic integrity doesn't stop at the farm gate.

PURIS operates five organic‑certified processing locations (certified by OCIA) across the U.S. and has been processing organic crops for more than 20 years, with dedicated systems, quality programs, and traceability protocols in place. All facilities undergo annual on‑site organic inspections and operate as non-GMO and organic, food-grade environments.

We also maintain robust traceability systems that allow organic crops to be tracked from grower through processing, ensuring accountability at every step.

A Guaranteed Organic Market Before You Plant

Growing organic is a long‑term investment. PURIS helps reduce market risk by offering forward contracts and full production buy‑back for organic peas and soybeans.

That means:

  • A committed buyer before planting
  • Transparent pricing and organic premiums
  • Coordinated logistics at harvest
  • Reliable, timely payment

Organic growers choose PURIS because the system removes uncertainty while rewarding quality.

Advocating for Organic Growers and Processors

PURIS is an active member of the Organic Trade Association (OTA) and participates directly in policy and advocacy efforts that support organic growers, processors, and domestic supply chains. Our leadership regularly engages with policymakers on issues including organic integrity, domestic processing infrastructure, and programs that strengthen organic agriculture in the U.S.

This advocacy reflects our belief that organic success depends not just on farms, but on strong systems, fair policies, and long‑term investment.

More Than a Buyer, a Long-Term Partner

Organic farming requires planning, flexibility, and trust. PURIS supports organic growers with:

  • Region specific variety guidance
  • Agronomic support aligned with organic practices
  • Harvest coordination and logistics
  • Direct access to food grade organic markets

We're not a commodity outlet. We're part of a closed‑loop, domestic organic food system designed to keep value with growers and processors, not extract it.
