The GOODS from GRAIN

Vancouver, BC | GRAIN is excited to announce its first retail dry goods program, offering farm-direct grains and seeds to select West Coast retailers.

As part of its mission to support Canadian farmers and reconnect people with the sources of their food, GRAIN officially launched its retail program today with four premium products that have already earned a reputation among local restaurants for their high quality and supply chain transparency. Choose from Bob Wallace’s Laird Lentils or Wheat Berries, Melody Ector’s (wildly popular) Kabuli Chickpeas, or Michael Dutcheshen’s Golden Quinoa.

Dry goods with a story are now available for the home.

Offering direct access to the bounty of the Canadian prairies, GRAIN’s retail program is a natural next step in the company’s progression. GRAIN is a Vancouver-based wholesaler — and now retailer — of Canadian, farmer-direct grains, pulses and seeds. And in the coming months GRAIN will announce the next phase of business: fresh, whole grain flours.

ABOUT GRAIN

GRAIN is a new Vancouver-based wholesaler and retailer of Canadian, farmer-direct grains, pulses and seeds and a miller of fresh, whole grain flours.

GRAIN founders Janna Bishop and Shira McDermott source Canadian products exclusively, choosing high quality grains with total traceability, offering a complete story to customers looking for a stronger connection to the farmers growing their food. Realizing that Canada’s best dry goods are either exported or canned, GRAIN has set out to disrupt the traditional food supply chain by giving local consumers a taste of the prairies, supplying top-quality, nutrient-rich, Canadian dry goods with a story behind them. They offer classic Canadian grains like Hard Red Spring Wheat and durum, ancient grains like Khorosan and spelt, pulses like kabuli chickpeas and green lentils and seeds like Canadian golden quinoa.

Janna and Shira are constantly building new relationships with farmers across Western Canada, looking for new products — and the stories behind them — to bring to market. They are now packing retail and wholesale bags in their East Vancouver warehouse, eagerly awaiting the delivery of a hand-crafted stone grist mill from the Tyrolean mountains of Austria. When it arrives, GRAIN expects to immediately begin milling whole grain flours, offering healthy, fragrant and flavourful flour, rich in antioxidants, vitamins, protein and healthy oils.
