“It doesn’t need to be complicated to be effective,” shares Jake, co-founder of Tomorrow’s Bread. As Jake sees it, the production infrastructure and community network already exists within the Colorado bakery scene, so it’s really a matter of connecting the dots and educating bakeries in other communities on why this work is valuable. The Satellite Bakery Program is designed to be a “disarmingly simple” way to meet food security and health equity needs in Colorado’s rural communities. So far, CGC members Little Red Hen Bakery in Chaffee County and Pueblo Seed & Food Company in Montezuma County, are already committed Satellite Bakeries.

The Colorado Grain Chain (CGC), a nonprofit organization that grows and connects a vibrant community-centered grain economy in the state, has announced recipients for the 2024 Colorado Organic Grains Microgrant Program. CGC awarded six grants, at $5,000 each, to businesses in the middle phase of the organic grain supply chain, which falls after harvest and before retail.  This round of grants is the first of a three year Microgrant program. 

With fewer than 300 bottles available, Barrel Fire 2.0 offers a rare opportunity to support this grain-centric mission while enjoying a truly unique whiskey that embodies the spirit of Colorado grain.
