What has been a staple of human's diet for thousands of years, wheat is one of the most important foods we can grow. Unfortunately, many of us have no relationship with this wonderful grain. The only way we encounter it is at the end of the processing line - either in baked goods or in the form of flour. It's a wonderful and easy crop to grow that doesn't require much maintenance to give you much rewards. In fact, if you look at the low averages that farmers get for wheat, on just 1/100th of an acre, you could get more than 1,000 pounds of the stuff baked dreams are made of! That's a space only the size of 10x50' - to grow more flour than you will probably use all year!
There is a fantastic article out there written by an urban homesteader that tells about their adventure growing even more flour than I talk about above. Also, there is a FANtastic book by Gene Logsdon all about growing small-scale grains called "Small Scale Grain Raising." There's a new edition out this year, so I'd look out for it - Gene's an amazing guy and has been at the homsteading "thing" for a long time!
We strive to sell the highest quality open pollinated and heirloom seeds. Our chief concern is empowering you, the customer, to be able to grow your own vegetables year after year by being able to save your seed. Not growing GMO seed or hybrid vegetable seed allows you to keep the seed your plants create and know you'll get the same vegetable every time. We value your input and comments and want to create a community of concerned citizens who care about the food they eat, the ground they grow their vegetables in, and the world in which we live. To protect your pollinators and bees, please limit or eliminate your pesticides use, they will thank you for it! Thank you again for purching such high quality heirloom seeds!
