The Kneading Conference is an engaging annual event held at the Skowhegan State Fair in Skowhegan, Maine, designed for a diverse audience including farmers, professional and home bakers, brewers, chefs, cooks, grain researchers, maltsters, food entrepreneurs, and wood-fired oven enthusiasts. This conference aims to educate attendees about the art and

science of growing and milling grains, baking artisan breads, and brewing exceptional beer. It serves as a platform to inspire and empower individuals who are dedicated to building local grain economies that are beneficial for both people and the planet. The event fosters connections and shares grain traditions and innovations from earth to table, envisioning a thriving future for local grain economies.
The Kneading Conference emphasizes a seed restoration project focused on reviving rare and heritage variety grains by transforming carefully kept seeds into commercially viable quantities for farms. Additionally, it features a comprehensive grain and baking education program that includes live and online workshops, baking tips, and a plethora of free learning resources such as videos and handbooks provided by experts in the field. The conference also plays a crucial role in enhancing the quality standards of grain handling and finishing on farms by purchasing equipment and demonstrating its optimal use across seven farms in Maine. Attendees can expect two full days of intensive workshops on grain topics along with hands-on baking experiences, providing opportunities to interact with some of the world’s most acclaimed bakers and chefs. Furthermore, the Maine Grain Alliance (MGA) supports grain-based business owners through need-based technical assistance and equipment funding to secure economic opportunities, especially vital during challenging times like the COVID-19 pandemic. The Kneading Conference is not just about education; it also celebrates the incredible grain community and reminisces about the enjoyable experiences from previous events, all while encouraging participation and support for grain businesses in need.
