Tom and Darrin got one last chance to hit the road this season for a site-visit to the new Grain Hub! In McElmo canyon, just west of Cortez that is the work of the Pueblo Seed Company.
An exciting new era in ancient and heritage grains is being formed there this year. This has been in the making for over a decade and had an accelerated jump last year due to incredibly good timing… But we should just let Dan Hobbs tell the story.
If you know the value of good local heritage grains, come take a listen.
