Baking with Blue Grouse
From milling 50-pound bags of Colorado wheat to shaping over 600 loaves, the Colorado Grain Chain team experienced the full journey of grain to bread at Blue Grouse Bread. This two-day bakery stage in Norwood showcased how Blue Grouse is connecting Colorado farmers' grains with local tables through beautiful, naturally leavened bread.

A Day in the Life at Grains From the Plains
While you're thinking about harvest season this October, the flour in your kitchen tells a different story–one that connects you to July sunshine, families working thirteen-hour days, and 90 years of farming on Colorado's Eastern Plains.
