Kneading Conference 2024

Learn classic lamination techniques and formulas adapted to using high extraction, locally sourced, whole grain flours from Maine Grains. The class will be a demo with light hands- on. This will allow us to make more products and demonstrate ways to insure a consistent product, with emphasis on production timing and problem solving. Christy wants to take the guess work out and share the fun and excitement of making good croissants using local flours!

What can conspiracy theories teach us about the fundamental importance of collaboration and community building? How do we connect with people who think differently than we do? And what part can we play in healing the broken parts of our world? Amber Lambke, Co-founder and CEO of Maine Grains will share insights and stories about community building in rural Skowhegan, Maine and reflections on how small actions locally can build a better world.
This workshop will be hosted at the renovated jailhouse that Amber repurposed into a gristmill, bakery and cafe in the heart of historic downtown Skowhegan. Maine Grains and the Miller’s Table have been a driving force in the revitalization of this riverside mill town.
