WILD RYE COLLECTION

A close-up view of a rye field at golden hour, with rye heads swaying in the wind under a soft warm sky.

Rye began as a wild weed growing among the wheat and barley. As farming moved north into colder lands, it was rye that thrived.

For centuries it has fed the Nordic countries, baked into round knäckebröd and hung from the ceiling to last through the winter.

There is also a hardy wild rye that takes root wherever it lands and finds a way to grow. For a long time after moving to Sweden I wasn't sure where home was. Like wild rye, I've been learning to grow where I am planted.

The Wild Rye Collection is inspired by this humble grain and by the Swedish countryside where it grows. A small tribute to the place I call home.
