We are a growing community of active participants in the California grain economy: researchers, farmers, millers, maltsters and bakers. We believe in the high quality of California grain and its importance to our state’s food production landscape.
We are launching this web tool as a support system for farmers and collaborators of all sizes and shapes in order to build a broad and more inclusive community. All are welcome and will find support and resources here.
We see a future where our high-quality grain meets and builds higher in-state demand for handling, milling and baking California-grown grain. California strong!
Through generous funding by the California Wheat Commission, this web tool exists to bring all participants together with the main goal of supporting production practices that improve the environment, increase profitability and sustainability, and provide food that improves human health. Our main objectives:
Golden State Grains is proud to bring attention to the work of Monica Spiller. Her experience as a Cereal Chemist and her tireless work on behalf of wheat seed research and organic farming practices have benefited our California grain community in more ways than we could ever list. A fierce whole grain advocate and tireless educator - we are lucky to have her in our state and in our corner. In fact her years of collaboration and community-building with our researchers and farmers have provided the very framework for our efforts. Through her website, The Whole Grain Connection, Monica freely shares valuable information about organic landrace wheat seed, research papers, educational newsletters and recipes featuring whole grains and natural fermentation. Thank you, Monica, on behalf of Golden State Grains!
Developing an innovative and sustainable marketplace for California grown and processed grain.
