Amy -- thanks so much for this blog (which I only just discovered) and The New Bread Basket -- that was one of the inspirations for my wife and I to start growing grain here at our regenerative farm, Cold Brook Farm, in New Jersey!! A quick note about your health situation -- thank you for being brave and sharing that. My wife and I have several friends who completely cured their diabetes with a Whole Food Plant Based diet. I'd be happy to share more info about that if you'd like. Oh, and the best part? They can (and do) still eat lots of grains! BTW, we've been eating WFPB since last July and the change in how we feel and all of our health metrics has been incredibly positive!
Awesome article! Yes, whole grain is an important part of my whole real food diet too! I don't eat any processed food unless it's processed by me 😁. I log everything I eat in the free app "Cronometer" & it tells me the nutrients of each & the total each day. It's awesome! Oh, and I use a Mockmill to mill the wholegrain part of my sourdoughs myself. I bought lotsa triticale berries from Moon Family Farm in Eastern Washington. https://www.moonfamilyfarm.com/product-page/triticale.
Great for baking & cooking. I love dry roasting my grains before boiling them. Speeds up the cooking time & tastes awesome! Works with black & red rice, farro, & even oats groats.

That pancake is just perfect! Janie’s looks to be out of your booklet, any other stockists?
Hi Amy.
Great article. I've been making the KAF sourdough pancake recipe. I use buckwheat flour as part of the mix. I noticed your helmet 🚴♂️👍
That photo of a pancake is really stunning. <3
