Kneading and bread conference - the annual kneading conference brings together farmers, professional and home bakers, chefs, cooks, Grain researchers, maltsters, food entrepreneurs, and wood-fired oven enthusiasts to educate one another about the art and science of growing and milling grains and baking artisan breads. The annual artisan bread fair is a free summer festival offering wood-fired oven demonstrations, artisan bread samplings, and opportunities to talk with professional bakers and explore the best books, tools, and delicious accoutrements to whole Grain and conventional bread baking.
Grain community support - restore rare and heritage variety grains by turning handfuls of carefully kept seed into commercially viable quantities for farms.
Education and events - provide Grain and baking education programs through live and online workshops, baking tips, free learning resources, videos, handbooks and more provided by experts in the field.
