Grain Place Foods, Inc. Participates in USDA Local Foods Grant

Increasing local food distribution options is one of the goals of the USDA grant awarded to GROW Nebraska. GROW Nebraska is working with ag-producers and ag-cooperatives throughout the state to brand their products, distribute to new regional markets and build wholesale business opportunities.
 
One local Nebraska business now has global customers thanks to GROW Nebraska and comments on the popular Dr. Oz show. Grain Place Foods, Inc. went from selling 10-20 two pound bags of hulled barley a week to receiving 600 orders in just three days after Dr. Oz touted hulled barley. Potential customers were easily able to find them on GROW Nebraska’s Amazon store. Christian Evans says this is a great example of how their partnership with GROW Nebraska has benefited their company. GROW also helps create awareness of the economic and cultural value of buying local to have transparency in food sources.

Grain Place Foods, Inc. provides high quality, organic grains and seeds. Their products include seeds, whole grains, old fashioned rolled grains, and stone ground flours and meals. The mission of Grain Place is to provide their customers grain products that are grown and produced in an ecologically sustainable and socially responsible manner - with the conviction that how your food is produced does matter!

GROW Nebraska is a program of Central Plains Foundation, Inc. and helps maximize the state’s entrepreneurial spirit and build the global reputation of Nebraska businesses by providing sustainable business environments through business-building marketing and education.
