Quinn Snacks partners with Ralston Family Farms to develop regenerative brown rice flour

Quinn Snacks recently announced a partnership with Ralston Family Farms, a third-generation rice grower dedicated to regenerative agriculture, soil health, and reduced chemical reliance. Together, they’ve developed a regenerative brown rice flour—a first of its kind at this scale.

Instead of discarding broken rice grains, Quinn upcycles them, transforming them into a high-quality flour while maximizing farm outputs and minimizing waste. The collaboration with Ralston Family Farms aligns with Quinn’s commitment to building a more sustainable food system and goal of ensuring the long-term viability of sustainable farming.

By creating economic opportunities for regenerative farms—and by partnering directly with farmers, testing raw materials, and refining sourcing practices—Quinn aids the growth and success of regenerative agriculture.

Quinn also recently celebrated gaining a new certification for one of its products, the Peanut Butter-Filled Pretzel Nuggets. The gluten-free, non-GMO snacks have been officially certified Glyphosate Residue Free by The Detox Project.

Quinn founder Kristy Lewis, who was named to Inc.’s 2025 Female Founders 500 List, said, “This certification is a testament to the work we’re doing to eliminate harmful chemical residues, support regenerative agriculture, and ensure every snack is made with intention, integrity, and transparency.”
