Imagine: Next door lives a hardworking organic farmer. Each summer you watch majestic fields of wheat mature from green to gold. And then the harvest. At a new stone mill down the road, a miller grinds the farmer’s wheat into whole grain flour, sold just days old at the local market. At a small bakery on Main Street, a sourdough baker sells artisan loaves. At the corner pub, a craft brewer pours pints brewed with local ingredients. It all tastes amazing. Once upon a time, American communities were centered around their farmers, millers, and food artisans. GOOD GRAIN is the comeback story of the local grain movement, as found in New Jersey, the original Garden State. Rated NR, 40m
