Partnership shortens grain supply chain

One of the objectives for our cottage bakery is to use as much local and regional grain as possible. It is definitely a challenge in that there are not a lot of farms growing the types of grains we want in out immediate area. We've already started the process of sourcing grains and connecting with farmers throughout different parts of Colorado. Once we have those relationships, and the grain, we'll eventually be needing to store it and mill it to use in our baked goods. 

All that set up brings us to the video we're linking to. We do currently imagine part of our operation handling the milling of our own flour, so what the video covers is a larger version of part of what Daily Grains will be aiming for.

Twenty-five pound bags of all-purpose flour are being filled at Farmer Ground Flour in Trumansburg, New York. Each bag marks the halfway point of the journey for grain grown in New York State to the plate of consumers in the Northeastern United States. The circuit for this grain from field to table could be as short as 15 miles, which is exactly as the owners intended.
