Shepherd's Grain growers donated $50,000 to feed communities across the Pacific Northwest during the COVID-19 pandemic. With a focus on contributing to organizations providing hunger relief, helping families in need, and preparing meals for seniors, schoolchildren and homeless communities, the company's cash and flour donations are benefiting local food banks, nonprofits and restaurants. Included are Seattle-based FareStart, Food Lifeline, Second Harvest and the Restaurant Workers Relief Program. More than 38 Shepherd's Grain farmers agreed to contribute funds directly from their profits of selling wheat to create Shepherd's Grain flour. Founded in 2003 by farmers Fred Fleming and Karl Kupers in eastern Washington, Shepherd's Grain promotes no-till, direct-seed farming.
