Great video from January 2021 illustrating how community members of a grain chain are working together in Pennsylvania. It always amazes me how much information can be packed into a video if it is done well, and this is indeed well done. This is one of those mini-documentaries that brings attention to local food systems without avoiding discussion of the business realities and hard work required.

Wonderful article from our local version of Edible magazine covering the background of the Colorado Grain Chain. If you are getting into the Front Range grain scene or if you just want an example of what is behind these national movements around rebuilding local and regional food systems, this is a good place to start.

I just came across this page on Amy Halloran's website as I kicked off my new nightly grain data research. There is a pretty healthy list of local grain mills and other businesses selling grains and flour across the US. She also links to a couple of other online directories.

The Artisan Grain Collaborative is focused on rebuilding the grain chain in the Midwest. They've posted a great illustration laying out the conceptual framework for classifying the various organizations and community members involved in their efforts to strengthen their regional grain chain and local food system.
