On this episode of the Sourdough Podcast, David Kaisel of Capay Mills joins me to talk about his recent crowdsourcing success using the new platform SMBX. David describes his unique path into milling and farming and his goal to resurrect community-scale grain milling. We talk about our mutual wheat network and David’s vision for the future of the California grain economy.
My guest today is David Kaisel. David owns and operates Capay Mills in Northern California where he grows and mills heritage grains. Founded in 2015, Capay Mills has faced hurdles like drought, wildfires, and even too much rain. Despite these setbacks, his operation has earned a loyal following, from whom an influx of support has come in the form of hundreds of small business bonds. David joins me today to talk about his journey, his recent crowdsourcing success, and the future of the grain economy in California.
