After an incredible inaugural class last year, Grain School is returning
again in 2013. Grain School is the important link in our transition to a
more local and sustainable food system. Scaling your operation to a
manageable effort, sourcing, planting, growing, harvesting, cleaning,
storage and milling will all be addressed. Learn the history, philosophy
and genetics as well as the practical applications of growing,
harvesting and milling heritage grains.
