SoyDak Foods™ began on our family farm in Herreid, South Dakota — the same land our family has worked for generations.
Out here, you learn quickly that weather changes, markets shift, and nothing is guaranteed. But hard work, family, and resourcefulness always carry you through.
For years we grew soybeans — one of the most complete plant proteins on earth — only to watch most of them leave the state or go toward animal feed.
We kept wondering:
“Why aren’t we turning this incredible crop into real food for the people who live right here?”
That question sparked the idea for Summus™.
Summus is created late at night in our kitchen after the girls are asleep… or sometimes when they aren’t.
Kiera loves standing on her stool helping seal bags or handing us containers.
It’s not about the task — it’s about being part of something we’re building as a family.
SoyDAK Foods™ is about taking what we’ve always done — raising good crops with care — and pushing it into the future.
Our mission is simple:
Elevate South Dakota–grown soybeans
Build healthier, high-protein foods
Support rural families and communities
Create flavors people truly love
Summus™ is the first step.
It’s where the field meets the future — and we’re just getting started.
From our family farm to your kitchen table — thank you for supporting something grown and made right here in South Dakota.
