On this episode of The Ric and Dan Show, the boys bring along Amber Lambke, CEO and Co-Founder of Maine Grains, to talk about history, healthiness, and the beauty of a past not-yet-lost to us, all wrapped up in a bushel of oats and wheat.

Amber is in jail- in a jail- in a former jail: she needed to turn the old structure into a grain mill from the ground up, because nowhere else had the vertical space she needed to get to work. It started with the Kneading Conference, and from there, she began to recreate the infrastructure to actually clean the grains Maine farmers have been growing. It turns out Maine has a history of grain production that we simply lost to time, and she's here to bring it back. All this gives Ric and Dan enough confidence to offer her a permanent spot on the new Ric and Dan and Amber show! But, alas, her real passion is still in farming and food. The three talk about the culinary history of Maine, the staple of buckwheat ployes, and the difference between soft and hard wheats... and as the conversation continues, it becomes clear: we have so much to gain, thanks to the effort of Maine Grains!
