Join us for a full day of hands-on learning, discussion, and networking focused on the local grain movement in Western Pennsylvania.
The day begins with a Rye Workshop at Third Space Bakery (10:00 am - 12:00 pm), designed for professional bakers interested in integrating rye to increase grain diversity and whole-grain offerings ($40). Attendees will learn about the cultural and historical overview of culinary rye, explore different rye flours (including sourcing and milling), and approaches to mixing, shaping, and baking with rye.
In the afternoon, join us at Eden Hall at Chatham University for a free Grain Value Chain Panel Discussion with CRAFT Chatham (2:00 pm - 4:00 pm), featuring local grain producers and millers who will share insights on growing, milling, and distributing grains in the region. Note that Eden Hall is about a 30 minute drive from Third Space Bakery.
If you can’t join us in person, the Grain Value Chain Panel Discussion will be livestreamed on CRAFT Chatham’s Youtube Channel and available afterwards as a recording.
The day concludes with a free Pizza Bake & Networking Event (4:00 pm - 6:00 pm) at CRAFT's wood-fired pizza oven, where participants can enjoy locally sourced pizza, connect with fellow grain growers, bakers, and food businesses, and learn more about the vibrant regional grain supply chain!
