Naturally Straws Prairie Grass Straws by Shaffer Farms 

Sip Like the World’s Best Bartenders Have for Centuries

Before plastic and paper, the world turned to nature’s original straws—grasses, reeds, and hollow stalks that grew abundantly in fields, wetlands, and prairies across the globe. From the wheat fields of Europe to the lush riverbanks of South America, these natural materials were hand-cut and used to sip everything from herbal teas to early cocktails. Today, we’re bringing back this lost tradition with Premium Farm-Grown Cocktail Straws—sustainably sourced, hand-cut, and designed for an elevated drinking experience.

🌾 A World of Natural Straws

Grasses, reeds, and stalks have been a part of drinking culture for centuries—used by farmers, distillers, and mixologists long before synthetic materials took over. Our cocktail straws honor this tradition by sourcing the finest, most durable plant-based straws from sustainable farms around the world.

✔ Big Bluestem & Switchgrass (North America) – Once essential to Indigenous cultures, these strong prairie grasses were historically used for weaving, crafting, and drinking straws in early cocktail culture.

✔ Pampas Grass (South America) – Traditionally found in Argentina and Uruguay, Pampas grass was used in farming and for drinking the famous Yerba Maté, one of the oldest sipped beverages in history.

✔ Wheat & Rye Stalks (Europe) – In Italy, Spain, and France, farmers would cut the stems of harvested wheat and rye to sip herbal infusions, aperitivos, and early spirits.

✔ Cane Reeds & Bamboo (Asia & Africa) – Tall, hollow reeds have long been used in tropical and equatorial regions as natural drinking straws, particularly in tea and fermented beverages.

✔ Wild Grasses & Hollow Stalks (Australia & New Zealand) – Indigenous communities used native grasses for weaving, tool-making, and drinking straws, connecting modern mixology to ancient traditions.
