Pastificio Boulder, Primitive Beer, and Pueblo Seed & Food Co
The Good Food Awards, for many of us foodies, is like the Oscars but for the nourishing and delightful foods and beverages that we treat ourselves to in our daily lives. The Colorado Grain Chain is delighted to share that several winners were Colorado businesses - and even more excited to share that many of them are Colorado Grain Chain Members!

This whole journey has ignited a fire in me to be a bigger part of the changing landscape of food education and I believe that it needs to begin with the people who will be able to make the biggest impact on the future - our children.

A grain with rich traditions that's making a comeback
Buckwheat is one of the six crops that the Department of Agriculture’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture’s Sustainable Agricultural Systems (SAS) has chosen to focus on for the Soil to Society project. This project will work on pairing soil management practices with increased nutritional value of selected crops, one of which is buckwheat.
