Our History
Our heritage stems back to Dakota Growers Pasta Company, a grower-owned cooperative built by farmers in the early 1990’s. 8th Avenue Pasta carries on the tradition of sourcing durum farmer direct, milling semolina and producing premium quality pasta.
All that's changed is the name!
Our legacy continues as a trusted pasta supplier for private brand, foodservice and ingredient customers.
