A new trend in the local food movement is taking hold--grains. Kevin Cunningham runs Shakefork Community Farm in Humbolt County, CA where he sells specialty flours and whole grains through a Community Supported Agriculture system, or CSA. For $300 per year, subscribers receive 12 to 15 pounds of assorted grains, grain flours, hot cereal mixes and culinary seeds. The return to small farms growing grain veers wildly from our current model where staple crops are growing en masse and trucked not just nationwide, but globally. Cunningham touts the direct-to-customer method as a way to focus on quality rather than quantity. Read More about this story, and find out how to go against the grain yourself....
