Since 1983, each spring we take to the woods at South River Farm and other secluded places in western Massachusetts, to gather native wild leeks (Allium tricoccum, also called ‘ramps’).* After careful washing, we steam these, along with dandelion greens, which are then chopped by hand and mixed with Hearty Brown Rice Miso (already aged for at least two years) and mature Sweet-Tasting Brown Rice Miso, dried nettles and sea vegetables. This mixture is then aged for one additional full summer season.

Ingredients: Deep well water, organic soybeans, organic brown rice, sun-dried sea salt, organic dandelion greens, organic garlic, wild leeks*, organic scallions, organic nettle greens, organic sea vegetables, and koji culture. Gluten-free.

*We mindfully harvest wild leeks by hand from isolated woodlands at South River Farm and other secluded places in Western Massachusetts. Though these woodlands are privately owned and protected, they are not certified organic.

I had the great fortune to find your Dandelion Leek Miso at my local co-op up here in Maine and I just wanted to thank you for renewing my faith in humanity. That’s pretty much that. Continued success to you and the crew. Thanks. — A phone message from Keith

I recently ordered 4 jars of your miso and sampled the Dandelion Leek Miso last night. WOW! I was blown away with HOW FABULOUS IT IS! The New York Times article [NYT, April 11, 2007, ed.] did not do it justice. It is so rich, full-bodied, winey, savory, satisfying, and amazing. I just had some with my vegetables as a dip, and loved it. I am really looking forward to trying all the others I ordered. Thank you so much for making such a wonderful product and bringing so much pleasure and delight into my life. —J. U., Dedham, MA
