About Our Grains & Pulses
We grow a rotation of hard red spring wheat, barley, oats, and peas.
We clean our threshed grain ourselves on the farm using a vintage Hart Emerson Viking fanning mill, as shown in the 1960 sales flyer at right.
Among the wheat varieties we grow is Red Fife wheat, a Canadian heritage variety and our country's oldest wheat, dating back to 1842; Red Fife is thought to have originated as Halychanka wheat in what is now western Ukraine. It makes excellent flour, so contact us if you'd like to purchase this rare grain.
We offer Red Fife flour we milled ourselves, as well as cleaned, bagged grain for you to mill yourself if you prefer. In addition to grain for human consumption, we offer poultry feed which is high in protein and energy -- the mix consists of our own peas, wheat, and flax. Let us know whether you're feeding layers or broilers.

Flour
We have a small grain mill and can grind our Red Fife wheat for whole wheat flour. Please let us know if you're interested in this option, and if so, if you'd like it sifted (which makes the whole wheat flour lighter). Place your order here!
You can see our traditional Ukrainian zhorna, or stone mill, in action at our Open Farm Days in August, and try grindig wheat into flour the old-fashioned way!
