Epic Grain Tour
EPIC GRAIN TOUR 2015: DISASTER, LOVE, KARAOKE!Milled at SHED. FINEDelivered flour. FINEGot on the freeway. REROUTING ERRORHeaded down 5. Grapevine flooded, Tehachapi mudslide, 101 gridlock. HORRIBLEGas stop. Guy with flavor savor blew me a kiss as he drove away. GROSSPull off break in L.A.. No on ramp to go back, side streets suddenly blocked by popo. RIDICULOUSAlmost to destination. Get stuck behind a fixed gear cyclist as the only other vehicle on the road. ABSURD
It was worth it. I came down to present on grain farming and baking with Mark Stambler of Pagnol Boulanger and Joseph Abrakjian of Seed Bakery. There was a wonderful group of bread bakers who made it to the event and asked great questions about how grains CAN BE grown, but haven't been. It was heartening to get positive responses to my way of farming and to see so many people excited about grains.A great weekend with good food, friends, and fun. I <3 LA!
