A community oriented agriculture project with a vision, the Mendocino Grain Project is many things- a farm, a mill, a seed cleaning facility and a food hub for locally produced staple crops. What’s a Grain-Share?

• A community-supported way of producing grain locally
• Members buy a share in the annual grain harvest and receive a portion of the grains produced
• Member shares support the cost of

growing, harvesting and distributing the grain
• Members share with the farmers the risk of poor or failed crops

How Will It Work?

• The farmers will prepare the fields, care for the soil, plant and harvest the crops, and distribute the grain shares to members
• Each member of the grain-share will buy one or more shares of the harvest in exchange for 100-120 pounds of grains. We anticipate that each share will cost $150-$200.
• Members will receive periodic updates on progress of the crops, expected harvest times, plans for distributing the grain shares, and suggestions for storing and using the grains. Why?

• To re-establish grains as part of the food produced in Mendocino County
• To support local farmers and a local food economy in our County
• To enjoy fresh grains and legumes grown organically from seeds not genetically engineered
• To reduce the “carbon footprint” of the grains you eat
• To increase local control of our food supply, which is increasingly concentrated in the hands of a few giant corporations. The Grains

• Hard winter and spring wheats for baking
• Special wheats for pasta, tortillas, etc.
• Oats for cereal and for feeding poultry and animals
• Barley for cereal and feed
• Rye for cereals and baking
• Selected heirloom grains

Meet the Farmers

John Gramke and Doug Mosel, both Nebraska-born farm-boys, and Sophia Bates of the Apple Farm, will be working in a unique collaboration with landowners and vineyards who are making land available for grain — in particular the Nelson Family Vineyard, where most of the grains will be grown in 2010.

This remarkable Midwest collaboration "gets it"!

The Midwest was once considered America’s bread basket. Today, the agricultural landscape is defined by corn and soy, much of which is made into refined foods, animal feed, and fuel. Incorporating food-grade small grains, oilseeds, and dry beans on farms offer alternatives to predominant cropping ...
