We believe that a gristmill is at the heart of turning the many and varied contributions of a community into sustenance for all.

Introducing Crop Rotation
Organic Dry Beans

Grown in the Northeast in rotation with grains.

"Eat food. Not too much.
Mostly plants."

– Michael Pollan

From philosopher to physician, we now know that eating more plant- based food nourishes our bodies and our land.

There’s a first time for everything.....
when we try things that have never been done before,
or even that have been done before.
We throw some flour, some heart, and creativity into the mix and get delicious results.
We join others and pledge to make good things happen.

Thanks for a great symposium in MA this week #northeastgrainshed #flourambassador #trilliumbrewing #valleymalt

We were honored to share the company of so many amazing food leaders and producers last night that are changing the landscape of good food in America. At the Hearst Theater in San Francisco, we accepted a Good Food award for our Maine Grains organic corn polenta and organic farro on behalf of all of our hard working staff, farmers, and partners.

The humbling Dolores Huerta opened the evening reminding us that we have the power to create a food system that is good for all. She is the winner of a Presidential medal of freedom, the Eleanor Roosevelt award for human rights, and is the founder of the United Farm Workers Union. The beloved farm-to-table chef Alice Waters introduced author and food activist Michael Pollan, who has arguably had the most impact on the food system of any living American. He reminded us all that the everyday choices we make when we form and grow good food businesses is disrupting big business as we know it, and in fact creating a better world with every small step. A leader in making “organic” a household word, Nell Newman of Newman’s Own and the
Wholesome Wave Foundation was on hand to adorn is with our medals.

Thank you Good Food Foundation for adding good GRAINS to your category line up this year!

Shout out to the other Maine Winners 🏅 Allagash Brewing Company, Speckled Ax coffee, Dean’s Sweets, Posto Bello, and Atlantic Sea Farms. You all help make Maine a great place to live, work, play, and EAT!

Off to showcase these good grains all weekend! 🌾
