The mainstem is the longest continuous channel in a river network.

A place where streams converge into something of regional significance. And for us, it’s also a metaphor for collaboration. We bring together seemingly disparate interests to work toward innovative solutions, united by the things we love.

We collect crops from an environmentally innovative team of family farms.

Then we make connections to artisans and consumers who are excited to support conservation initiatives alongside the development of more resilient local-to-regional grain economies.

Since our first crop year 2016, we’ve gone through great lengths to track each grain lot we purchase. Each malt becomes a uniquely traceable snapshot of time, space, variety, and sustainability.
