Great Grains!
Flowers are fantastic and veggies are vital, but what about growing grains? Packed with power and tastefully tiny, grains can be a wonderful adventure in the garden! Today, we’re welcoming Claire Smith from Tenera Grains to tell us more! We’ll also tickle your ears with our original song “Quinoa”! It’s a great grain Gro-Town celebration!
Claire grew up on a farm in Addison, Michigan (an hour south of Lansing) where she
watched her grandparents run a 2,000-acre farm. When her parents decided to grow the
ancient grains teff and buckwheat, Claire started a granola and snacks company called Tenera Grains using the teff and buckwheat that are now regeneratively grown. They're all about sustainable snacking that's good for you and good for the planet!
