Rather than avoiding gluten, many people and enterprises are diving into a fresh, regional approach to our daily bread. Learn about innovators in baking, milling and grain growing who are finding new routes to staple foods, and think about what the perfect loaf for your life looks like.
Amy Halloran is the author of The New Bread Basket. She has been following the revival of the regional grain movement in the Northeast for several years. She writes about food and agriculture for farming newspapers, cooking websites, and regional magazines. Her involvement in local food systems began with the Troy Waterfront Farmers Market in upstate New York, which bloomed under her care to a fifty-vendor year-round marketplace with more than a thousand weekly shoppers. She works with friends and neighbors to change the foodscape in her city, teaching classes in cooking, baking, and food justice, and volunteering at a youth-powered farm.
Amy Halloran joins us at Sterling College as a visiting instructor. In the evening, Amy will be giving a presentation on "Changing Grains and Baking in Vermont and Beyond". She will dive deep into her knowledge about how grains fit into the larger food system and will give us top notch insites how to support the farmers, millers and bakers that are taking notice of the importance of heritage grains.
Sterling College will have books available for sale and signing at the event.
JOIN US IN SIMPSON HALL AT STERLING COLLEGE @ 6:30 on AUGUST 14TH. THIS EVENT IS FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC!
