Came across this article written by Claudia Carter, Executive Director of the California Wheat Commission, regarding their Grain Chain networking website, Golden State Grains. While Ashley and I continue to do research on our local and regional chain, as well as national movements, it was very encouraging to come across Golden State Grains. 

If you want to understand some of what we are trying to do with Daily Grains, you'll be able to see part of our vision in their website. We want to help connect the bakers and chefs making local food with the millers and farmers (amongst all the other contributors) that are trying to grow and find new markets. Golden State Grains, a resource that does just that in California, was actually commissioned by the California Wheat Commission. Good stuff!
