Celebrate Great Grains
Join us each September for our “Celebrate Great Grains” event!
Tuality Plains Great Grains brings the grain markets home for local bakers, brewers and distillers. We’re part of a growing movement throughout the U.S. to establish regional grain cultures for the health and benefit of urban and rural communities.
Celebrate Great Grains Over the Years
Grains used to be very local. Wheat and other grains were among the first crops to be grown in this area. Joseph Gale, the first governor of Oregon, built and operated a gristmill on Gales Creek.
During the 19th century every state in the US grew wheat for local use and every variety of wheat was adapted to its region.
Industrial standardization arrived and huge monocultures grown in a limited number of places were developed. Industrial-optimized wheat selected for efficiency: For yield and uniformity — not taste!
TPGG has brought sustainable grain production back to western Washington County. You can support TPGG by supporting farmers, millers, brewers, and distillers who use our grains and flours in their products.
