Publicity for the Asheville Artisan Bread day (back in March) mentioned a new group in North Carolina who were trying to source organic wheat for bread production.
From a quick scan, it looks like they are going to be growing their own organic wheat,milling it and supplying it to the local artisan/organic bakeries. They have joined with a local business school, who has taken it on as a student project, to help develop the business aspect of the project. They've bought a mill and will be training Millers,soon.
WOW! This will be very interesting to follow as a model. Do we have any such initiative anywhere else in the USA? I'm in Wisconsin-I'd love to see something like this happening here.
