When we talk about resilience, food is often overlooked. But it shouldn’t be. Food touches every part of our lives — our health, our economy, our environment and our communities. In times of political uncertainty and climate disruption, how we grow, source and prepare our food matters more than ever.

Spotlighting Local Grains and Colorado’s Unique Terroir
via denver.diningout.com
Posted March 20, 2025 2:00 pm
There’s been a budding movement over the last decade to reintroduce locally-grown grains into our over commoditized food system. Just a few years ago, consumers likely never considered nor cared where the flour in their bread was milled.

But what’s really the difference between store-bought and heritage grains? And why does Colorado grow some of the best? To answer these questions we dug deep into the state’s terroir and history behind the plants and the people who use these grains.
