Farmer-Miller Collaboration & New Member Tools

FREE WEBINAR - OPEN TO ANYONE

During this interactive session, we'll introduce several new tools designed to help members build stronger business relationships and identify new opportunities, including:

• A new wholesale inquiry process to connect buyers and sellers more effectively

• An updated regional asset map to help you discover businesses and organizations across the grainshed

• Market readiness assessment tools that help growers, processors, and buyers evaluate their preparedness for new wholesale opportunities

We'll also hear from Aaron Grigsby of Deep Roots Milling, who will share lessons from building successful partnerships with regional grain growers and discuss what makes those collaborations work in practice.

Why Attend

Building a resilient regional grain economy takes more than great harvests—it takes the connections that help grain move from field to market. Whether you're a farmer, miller, baker, maltster, brewer, distiller, or buyer, knowing who to work with—and being ready to work together—is essential.

This is the first in a two-part series. Our second webinar, planned for late September, will build on this foundation by exploring shared standards for five key crops—soft wheat, hard wheat, corn, barley, and oats—and we hope to welcome a guest speaker to discuss organic transition and market opportunities.

While these convenings are supported through CGA's work to strengthen opportunities for organic and transitioning producers, the tools and conversations are relevant to anyone interested in building a stronger regional grain economy.

🌾 This webinar is free and open to everyone. We hope you'll join us as we continue building the connections that help our grainshed thrive. 🌾
