I just caught up with a podcast interview of Claire Smith, the founder of Teffola, which markets granola and snacks made with teff from Michigan. The podcast series she was on - Heartland Hot Dish - is also based in the same state. "Teff: The Other Regional Grain, with Claire Smith of Teffola," Heartland Hot Dish, 15 September 2025 https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/heartland-hot-dish/id1796887588?i=1000... (1:07:43). Their blurb: "In this episode of Heartland Hot Dish, we sit down with Claire Smith, founder & CEO of Teffola, to peel back the layers on teff — a tiny ancient grain that’s steadily making its way into kitchens far beyond Ethiopia. Claire shares the story of how her family farm in southern Michigan transformed its identity, growing teff among other grains, and building a transparent supply chain from field to breakfast bowl." My take: This podcast has a lot of interesting information from Claire, especially about the business side of what she's doing, along with some insights about growing grain teff. However there is also a lot of banter with hosts Kieron Hales, Daniel Burman, and Max (?). Still, definitely worth the listen. The episode title should not be taken literally - as far as I know, the Smiths' Tenera farms in Michigan is the only commercial producer of grain teff in the state, and one of only a very few in the Midwest. One thing not mentioned in the podcast is that their operation is different from most other grain teff producers in the US, who grow the grain under contract with Maskal or Selam (if my information is still current on the latter).
