Case Study: Wide Awake, a Locally Grown BakeryThis artisan bakery near Ithaca, NY, is breaking ground not only by baking flawless bread with local grains, but also by spearheading business strategies like its partnership with a leading grain farmer - Thor Oechsner - and miller - Farmer Ground Flour - just a few miles down the road. The Greenmarket Regional Grains Project is proud to feature Wide Awake in our series of case studies, produced with the Organic Growers Research and Information-Sharing Network, to address the need for information on how to start businesses in small-scale grain-processing and baking. Through this initiative, funded by the USDA's Rural Microenterprise Assistance Program, GRGP is working to spur the development and growth of the regional grains system. |
