Where and How to Find Local Grains

Thanks for your interest in local grains!  With more and more farmers producing cereal grains and pulses for human consumption here in the northeast, consumers are lucky enough to be able to find an increasing supply of local grains on the shelves of markets, in breads at their favorite bakeries, and also being used by restaurants.  In Vermont, one easy way to find local foods is through The Vermont Fresh Network, where you can find information about nearby farmers, restaurants, co-ops, distributors, and more.  Be sure to check with your local food co-op, as many are carrying whole grains, flour, cornmeal, dry beans, and many other products made from local grains. The Northeast Organic Farming Association of Vermont (NOFA-VT) has a searchable database of certified organic farmers and products that they produce. These are all pathways to locating local grains and grain products.

We have also provided a short list of outlets that our farmer members distribute grain and beans to regularly.

Thank you for supporting the local grain economy.
