Meet the Keynote
Amber Lambke is cofounder and CEO of Maine Grains, Inc., a gristmill housed in a repurposed jailhouse that has spurred the revival of grain production in Maine. She is also the founding director of the Maine Grain Alliance, a nonprofit formed to preserve regional grain traditions from earth to table.
In her keynote, she’ll discuss how revitalizing Maine’s grain economy has provided a focus for economic development at the grassroots level – and for rebuilding community resilience and self-sufficiency. She will outline how local grains in our bread, beer and more presents new opportunities for Maine and for connection across the globe.
Amber will deliver her keynote address, “10 Ways To Build a Better World With Bread and Beer,” on Saturday Jan. 10 at 1:15 p.m.
