This $1,862,151 federal Project Grant award, provided by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Agricultural Marketing Service under the Organic Market Development Grant (CFDA 10.188) program, will support Mainstem Malt in launching a new certified organic malt product line. The project aims to develop an ecologically-responsible grain value chain from farmer to buyer, by expanding domestic organic supply chain capacity and increasing markets for certified organic grain producers in the Cascadia region. Key activities include expanding staff capacity, building relationships with certified organic growers, establishing new markets for organic malt, and executing a marketing plan to differentiate the regionally-grown, certified organic malt products. The award began on January 30, 2024 and is expected to be completed by January 29, 2027.
