SOIL Sangre de Cristo
Meet Liz Carlisle and Jessica Larriva, members of the Colorado Grain Chain to learn about the re-introduction of heritage grains in the San Luis Valley and their nutritional benefits. Liz wrote 2 of my favorite books in recent years: The Lentil Underground as well as Grain By Grain with Bob Quinn. She is an elegant activist for regenerative agriculture and sings like a bird to boot. I've inducted her into the Grain Chain Revival band and who knows, she just might sign a lil ditty tonight? Jessica of Tumbleweed Bread in Monte Vista is creating some of the finest artisan bread in Colorado while supporting the Grain Chain alongside legacy farmer, miller and DJ Kris Gosar of Mountain Mama Milling just down the road.

Our milling team has been busy preparing our new mail order program where we can now ship fresh flour to any state in America. This decision to make shipping available was driven by the scarcity of organic heirloom flour, or really any flour during the pandemic that still persists today. The food miles are a challenging and a bitter pill to swallow, but we feel that the benefit of sharing this good grain outweighs the negative aspects. We are also in the process of switching over to all compostable flour bags. Joan our Mill-Boss has created a program that maximizes the amount of flour that we can jam into a medium sized box for ultimate shipping efficiency and value.
