Building a Local Grain Movement from the Ground Up with Soil, Seed, and Diversity | $75,000 — This project will advance Colorado's ancient and heritage grain movement by bringing a wider diversity of grains into production, using regenerative practices, and working with a community of regional partners to share best practices through a series of fun educational events.

Boulder County Commissioners announced the recipients of the 2022 Sustainable Food & Agriculture Funds grants, of which MASA Seed foundation was an awardee. MASA is building a local, open seed bank as well as providing a hub for collaboration and educational efforts around regional seed development in Colorado's Front Range. That is a very oversimplified description of what they are doing, so definitely check out their site.

I was excited to see the specific application of funding towards the ancient and heritage grain movement right here in our neck of the woods.

Luckily, there is a growing movement of farmers, millers, bakers, chefs, scientists, and activists in Colorado who are working to revive ancient and heritage grains for our health, the environment, and the local economy.

I've known about Mad Ag for some time now and had recently posted them to our site a couple weeks back, but I just checked out their site again and came across this article they posted back in June. The article is packed to the rafters with information about grains, the local Grain Chain movement here in the Front Range...and much more than I can summarize here. Definitely worth the read.
