Ancient grains and Kernza

[Francesco Tripoli]

Hello and good day, 

May these few words find you well...

I am working on a new bakery project focused on ancient grains, community seeds, and community organizing.  Although I am familiar with the work of masters like Wes Jackson and others who have been working on perennializing wheat for decades, I would love to know if we have any regional sources for both ancient grains as well as perennial hybrids like Kernza.  Is there perhaps a ancient grain hub in PA? A single source or focal-point for organizing a coherent strategy against the agrochemical and seed plundering monopolies that have organized lobbies with lawyers, pundits, and the like? Any info would be appreciated.  I have been out of the u.s. for over a decade and I'm fixing to return to the community that gave me so much growing up, I plan to return in order to do my part feeding our community.  

Wishing you all very well!

Take care, revel, and share, 

Francesco aka Frankie in PA
