Grow a Better Planet
Improve the global food system from the soil up. PURIS seeds are designed to perform field to fork with offtake contracts that enable sustainable rotations.


What is the PURIS Grower's Progam?
If you're looking to diversify your crops, incorporate sustainable growing practices into your farming, or want the security that you have a buyer for what you producer, you'll benefit from the PURIS Grower's Program.
As the largest pea protein manufacturer in the U.S. and a trusted soybean supplier, we partner with farmers across North America to grow quality crops using our field-tested seeds, then buy the crops back directly in a closed-loop supply chain.

What is regenerative agriculture?
Regenerative agriculture means embracing farming practices that support biological processes occurring naturally on Earth, as well as supporting the people who work the land. It takes many forms, including pasturing animals, investing in soil health, and treating farmers and workers fairly.
What is the delivery and payment period?
Standard contract is Buyer’s Call that will take delivery before the next years crop harvest. Example – Harvest July 2025, will take delivery by June 30th 2026. Payment is net 30 days from delivery per load
Do you offer crop insurance?
PURIS does not offer crop insurance, in some areas crop insurance is available in the primary regions where Field Peas are grown through local Farm Service office.
What are your weed prevention practices?
Organic weed prevention is through rotary hoe and tine weeder passes until the peas have closed the rows. Typically until 6 to 8 inches in height.
Conventional production does have herbicides that can be utilized, Glyphosate is restricted on peas during the growing cycle.
How does PURIS schedule planting and harvest time?
Planting schedule is working with producers on the most advantageous times that will allow for establishing a solid stand of peas from germination and plant vigor. This is to maximize plant health and maximizing yield potential. Depending on the climate and geography this can range from January until late May. Harvest timing is typically 95 to 110 calendar days from planting to harvest depending on Heat unit accumulation through the growing season. Producers then supply a Harvest Sample that is tested by PURIS for sample approval of the peas for processing.
Will PURIS help me transition to organic farming?
Transitioning to organic can seem challenging. But PURIS makes it possible. We provide the seed and support to help you navigate the transition over several seasons.
