I spoke with Kevin from Huasna Valley Farm in SLO County yesterday,
and I asked them about quinoa. Huasna is currently only growing wheat
but they are interested in growing quinoa, perhaps next year.
John DeRosier from With the Grain in SLO County is already growing
quinoa, but only for seed this year. They will probably grow a crop
for the public next year as well! I have a call into him and will
update everyone with more information.
