I want to buy heirloom wheat flour but so much is ground into white flour. I can only eat whole wheat ?

I’ve always loved it, but not always been able to afford it. Its amazing stuff.
I raise colored Shetland myself. Used to have colored and white cheviots, but have only a white ram left. I’m amazed at how far you have come with all of this. Best wishes
PS, if you get curious, as some have my woolywinds handspun yarns Facebook site was hacked by former neighbors and I have never been able to get it back. I haven’t yet started a new page. Not for a while.

Quite a trip you have embarked upon. And kudos to you for your accomplishments & achievements.
You want young people involved? Perhaps an unpaid internship for highly qualified college seniors. So get to work on that non-profit status. Other benefits will follow that. Not to mention some time for some self care which you really need.

I would love to taste her heirloom wheat — is it sold in Southern California?
Best wishes,

Let the consumers support your efforts! I know I would!

Do you sell yardage?

thank you

We also spoke on the phone and she was enthusiastic and very helpful. I hope she can take her business where it needs to go because we need her in this world!!! I will surely pass the word around.

Color cotton is so cool, the natural is so beautiful, the wheat sounds fantastic, I’m going to look for it and make some bread!!! I’m praying for land to start my own ” back to heirloom living”.

Food is medicine and we have lost so much nutrition with the pesticides used in many crops. Please keep up your work. Maybe you should teach at a university. ~ Faye Duggan, San Diego, CA

It’s incredibly inspiring to me as a new, next generation farmer beginning the research or opportunities and possibilities to improve the land. Sally’s farming history is filled with riches about crops, land and diversity. Thank you
