Each summer you watch majestic fields of wheat mature from green to gold. And then the harvest. \nAt a new stone mill down the road\, a miller grinds the farmer’s wheat into whole grain flour\, sold just days old at the local market. At a small bakery on Main Street\, a sourdough baker sells artisan loaves. At the corner pub\, a craft brewer pours pints brewed with local ingredients. \nIt all tastes amazing. \nOnce upon a time\, American communities were centered around their farmers\, millers\, and food artisans. GOOD GRAIN is the comeback story of the local grain movement\, as found in New Jersey\, the original Garden State. \n\nAbout the Filmmaker \nJared Flesher is an award-winning documentary filmmaker whose short and feature films explore a wide range of environmental subjects.

He regularly creates multimedia content for the Princeton University Office of Sustainability. \nThis gathering is designed to bring together farmers\, millers\, brewers\, buyers\, and other supply-chain partners from both sides of the Delaware River to connect\, share insights\, and explore opportunities for collaboration.
