Heartland Chia

Heartland Chia Founded by farmers in 2012, Heartland Chia has developed and marketed locally grown chia from the USA. We love being Kentucky Proud!

Husband and wife team, Chris and Jill Ku**er of Franklin Kentucky are growing the FIRST EVER chia in the United States! Heartland Chia seeds began with research at the University of Kentucky, where traditional plant breeding techniques were used to develop the first and only early flowering chia that will grow successfully in the central United States. Even though the chia is 100% non-GMO the, spe

cial US-adapted plant was patented and Heartland Chia became the exclusive licensee of Early Flowering chia. Our seeds are equal to or superior in composition and nutritional profile to any chia seeds grown anywhere in the world because they were bred from traditional chia plants. The difference is that they are grown here in the U.S.A. and subjected to quality control. And that brings a host of unique benefits.

Let me start by being very clear, THIS RECALL IS NOT HEARTLAND CHIA. Attached is a link to the recall of 8-ounce Navitas Organic’s chia seed pouches due to a potential Salmonella contamination. The most common question we get from consumers is “Why?”. Why U.S. grown? Why a more expensive product? Why Heartland Chia? This is our why. At Heartland Chia our chia seeds are tested rigorously to make sure an event like this does not happen. We have lab results of every batch of chia that is produced, which are available upon request. We are not a big corporation. We are a fifth-generation family farm, working with other family farms across the country with one mission in mind. Providing a safe and sustainable supply of the world’s finest chia seeds. Grown right here in the USA.
