how we make noodles

On the hottest days of the summer, you’ll likely find us in the hay fields. What began with us manually stacking wagon loads of hay, has evolved into a mechanized operation. Our hands-free process utilizes a custom bale squeeze to move stacks of hay.

gathering

Eggs are gathered daily from our own henhouse. Our Isa Brown chickens produce brown eggs year round.

mixing

When noodle day arrives, eggs, flour, salt, and water are mixed. Flavorings like rosemary or black pepper are added depending upon the flavor.

After being combined, the dough is rested until it is the perfect consistency to be rolled.

rolling

Using a pasta machine, sheets of dough are rolled through the machine until they are the thin. Once rolled, the sheets are cut into equal noodles.

drying

Once cut, the noodles are spread single layer to dry. Depending on humidity, noodles are dried for 24-36 hours. Once dried, noodles will last for months stored in a dry, cool place.

packaging

The last step is packaging. Once dried, the noodles are weighed and packaged, ready to be sold and eaten.
