The Spring issue of Edible Portland has an article about how farmers, bakers, brewers and distillers are creating new markets for local grains. On a soggy, cold afternoon in January, Lola Millholland and I paid a visit to Colin Barricklow at Kirsop Farm near Tumwater to learn how he’s been growing local grains. Later, we followed his products journey to market, winding up at Tabor Bread. Here’s a few of my favorites from that story.
