Mona Esposito, aka The Grain Lady, is an activist and advocate of restoring heritage grains to Colorado and supporting and recreating the network of farmers, millers and makers needed to make a regional grain economy thrive.  With degrees in art history and linguistics, a career in photography, and an Italian mother Mona was perfectly poised for a life of travel and food.  She is as at home in the garden as in the kitchen and was raised with the notion of food and place. She is currently working with growers, chefs, bakers and consumers as a heritage grain consultant.
