The Great Wheat Harvest of 2011--Part Deux

There is nothing like eating food you know personally.
Like eating eggs from chickens you see scratching and pecking everyday...
And eating blackberry jam from blackberry bushes you watered...
Even eating chickens you personally 'harvested', plucked and packaged...
So it only follows that eating bread from wheat you know personally is a truly, TRULY satisfying experience.  I highly recommend it.

I think it's good for the soul.


Hundreds of wheat berries!




My fabulous wheat grinder.




My fabulous wheat grinder grinding my wheat!




Flour.  My flour.





Bread.


"Back of the bread, the flour,
Back of the flour, the mill.
Back of the mill, the fields of wheat,
The rain and the Father's will."

  1. I hope to be like my mommy when I grow up. I just wonder how old I'll be when I actually grow up. I want to try your bread but I did not help you make it. This reminds me of the story "The Little Red Hen".
