I too eat the chia seeds.

Several years ago, as part of an experiment with "sprouts " and "micro greens", I did use some of the chia seeds in a flat of sprouts. They did sprout just fine. But since I'm in Wisconsin, I had no intent of trying to grow them to seed.

At the time I had looked up info on growing them and the best I could find was that 1 of the Universities was trying to find a species that would grow further north. The best they could do was Ky/Tenn and that was iffy. It was a daylight issue more than a length of season issue. Chia only heads under certain daylight conditions. Like long day vs short day onions.
