Working with local farmers offers distillers a connection to the stewards of their agricultural inputs. It’s an opportunity to explore new flavors from unique grain varieties, a chance to make spirits with a sense of place, and a concrete way to support local farm economies. The Artisan Grain Collaborative offers a new reference guide designed especially for distillers interested in working with local growers for their distilling grains: The Midwest Craft Distillers Guide to Local Sourcing.
This 68-page, fully designed and illustrated booklet curates key topics and practical tips to support Midwest distillers interested in developing local grain supply partnerships. Developed with over 20 different contributors from across the regional grain value chain, the guide orients distillers to Midwest grain agriculture, working with local growers, and grain quality checks to confidently handle locally sourced grains in the distillery.
