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.
