Mark your calendars! Colorado Gives Day is the state's largest one-day online giving event, and it's one of the most powerful ways to fuel the work of the Colorado Grain Chain. Early giving opens November 1, so every dollar given between then and December 8 counts toward our campaign. Your support helps us keep building a resilient, regenerative regional grain economy — connecting farmers, millers, bakers, maltsters, and brewers across Colorado, and strengthening local food and farming systems from seed to table. 

Whether you're a longtime supporter or new to the grain movement, this is a great day to invest in Colorado's agricultural future. Stay tuned for our giving page link closer to the date! 

Join us for an evening of good food, good company, and good grain. Colorado Grain Chain is teaming up with Dear Emilia for an Aperitivo and short film premiere celebrating local agriculture, craftsmanship, and the community connections growing Colorado's grain economy.

📅 Wednesday, November 11th
 🕠 5:30–7:00pm happy hour | 6:00pm screening
