Started in 2009, The Mendocino Grain Project provides Mendocino County and adjacent regions with sustainably-cultivated, nutrient-rich grains and legumes. We are a community agriculture project that is a farm, food hub, and processing facility that provides Mendocino County and adjacent regions with sustainably-cultivated, nutrient-rich grains and legumes.
We grow grains and support other Northern California grain growers by harvesting, cleaning, and milling their crops. Our granary is in Ukiah, California, and we are very fortunate to be able to grow 30 acres of grain in Redwood Valley as well as collaborate with other farmers to grow and offer more grain locally. We practice minimum tillage and use cover crops, crop rotation, and composting; all farmers we partner with use organic practices but not all are certified
What We Grow
Grains: Wheat (heirloom pastry, bread, and ancient) 2 heirloom rye. We process and sell products grown by other Mendocino, Humboldt, and Sonoma County farmers, including rolled oats, heirloom beans, and quinoa.
Other Grains: Lentils. We also have bell bean seeds available.
