About the Podcast
Welcome to the Inland Northwest Artisan Grains™ forth podcast series
"Linking the Grain Chain"
University of Idaho Extension is excited to announce that the Inland Northwest Artisan Grains podcast is coming back for a 4th season!
In past episodes, we’ve introduced you to growers, millers, bakers, maltsters, and brewers who have broken new ground in building artisan grain businesses—and, in doing so, sparked a movement across the Inland Northwest. One thing they all have in common? The essential role of networking, collaboration, and community investment in their success.
This season, we’re spotlighting the organizations and businesses that are Linking the Grain Chain—re-connecting and revitalizing local and regional grain economies. We’re talking to the organizations and business leaders who specialize in connecting producers, processors, brokers, and buyers across local and regional grain supply chains. We’ll also hear from the farm and food businesses that are growing thanks to these collaborations.
Join us as we explore how artisan grain networks are opening new markets and building resilient, regional grain economies.
The "Linking the Grain Chain" podcast series is produced and released by
University of Idaho Extension and sponsored by The Northwest and Rocky Mountain Regional Food Business Center.
