We envision a world where local grain economies that are
good for people and good for the planet can thrive.

Thursday July 23, 2026 10:00am - 12:30pm EDT

Join writer, baker, and miller Graison Gill in a workshop designed to deepen your whole grain skills, learn about stone milling, and explore how to incorporate fresh flour into your favorite recipes. In this hands-on workshop, bakers will learn how to adapt their techniques, embrace flavor, and accommodate local flours to make loaves which are more nourishing for the bakers who make them, the people who eat them, and the earth which grows them. Time permitting, we will also discuss how to source fresh flour, how to communicate the value of whole grains to your customers, and methods for ensuring consistent results. Each student will shape and bake whole grain baguettes; as a class we'll make whole grain sourdough focaccia.
