About Us
From A Passion To A Brand
The company's original founder, Debbie Chidester was always passionate about entertaining her friends with delicious, homemade meals. She would often share her recipes with them, but found that many were intimidated by the process of chopping garlic and herbs, and blending unique spice combinations. Recognizing that her friends wanted to enjoy delicious food without the effort, Debbie drew upon her experience working in high-quality restaurants to create Plentiful Pantry, a line of dried, easy-to-prepare dishes. She then expanded into making small batch artisan pasta that rivaled the best Italian pastas. This pasta became the bedrock of a new business for the Koyle brothers, Jade and Jaxson. They recognized the potential in crafting artisan pasta whose high-quality ingredients were naturally sourced so they purchased the company from Debbie and their new journey began. This is important to them as they also own and operate a grain farm that specializes in "ancient, healthy" grains that they then mill into specialty flour. The Koyle family are dedicated to offering health-conscious, nutritious and delicious food products and are committed to continuing Debbie's vision of manufacturing high-quality pasta.
What began over 30 years ago as a small operation, cooking and packaging products at the kitchen table and selling at trade shows across the country, has grown into an organization that has previously employed up to 30 people. Today, Plentiful Pantry products are sold in all 50 states and Canada, and we are proud to be a USA-based company, with all of our products manufactured and packaged in Salt Lake City, Utah.
