An artisan grain cluster at the Blue Mountain Station site is well-aligned with the agricultural activity and long-term economic goals and development of Columbia County. This 21-acre site is adequate to support the development of this artisan grain cluster. The vision is to develop the grain cluster and build on Blue Mountain Station’s momentum by continuing to promote value-added agricultural products. This will include infrastructure, supply, and potentially shared distribution.<\/p>\n
“The development would enable and provide appropriately scaled infrastructure, supply chain, and market opportunities for small and mid-size farm and food businesses. The development would include small-to-mid-scale grain storage, cleaning, and
handling capacities that allow for the identity preservation of unique grains through the supply chain from agricultural producer to consumer (Arrowleaf Consulting).”<\/p>\n
