Join She Wolf Bakery Business Director Kim Vallejo and Director of Regional Food Program at Glynwood Center for Regional Food and Farming June Russell for an in-depth conversation on the past, present, and future of local grains. Vallejo and Russell will examine why local grains matter, explore the challenges of sourcing regional grains, and discuss how a new generation of bakers, millers, and growers is working collaboratively to rebuild a thriving grainshed and support producers at every scale. Enjoy a guided tasting of sourdough breads to understand how different grains and milling techniques influence flavor, texture, and aroma; and learn how you, too, can play a role in shaping a more resilient regional grain economy!
