A popular bread wheat in the late 1800s. Though it has less gluten than modern bread wheats, with care, it can make a nice yeast or sourdough bread today.

Sarah has made a video of how to make bread with this wheat's sifted flour here.

A hard red spring (HRS) bread wheat popular in Canada from around 1860 until the early 1900s, when it was replaced by better yielding varieties (though not better tasting). An heirloom variety that pre-dates the intensive breeding that occurred during the "green revolution" of the 1940s and 1950s.

Certified organic

Red Fife has less gluten than our HRS (Glenn) variety, and is therefore harder to make into bread. However, it is heirloom, certified organic and I feel has a superior flavor.

These soybeans are a clear hilum, high protein, food soybean that should make good tofu, soy milk etc. I've seen 3 generations of these, and the seeds had always been rather large. This years crop, however, was not and is a more typical soybean size.

They are certified organic and non-GMO.

FLOUR: Red Fife sifted

3 cup flour
1 ½ cup water
2 teaspoons salt
¼ teaspoon yeast

Mix ingredients then knead, with a kitchen-aid or by hand, for 5 minutes.
Let sit at room temperature for 2 hours, covered with a towel. Then sit in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, covered. The dough can sit in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
When ready to make bread, break off a softball size dough ball and flatten it. Sprinkle with a tablespoon of sugar or honey. Fold 5 to 10 times, and place into a well oiled loaf pan, flatten the dough out to the shape of the pan. Cover with a towel and let rise at room temperature for at least 1 hour. The dough won't quite double.
Preheat oven to 425 F. Bake for 15 minutes and then brush with butter or oil. Bake another 10 minutes.
Cool before slicing

This is for a deposit on half a certified organic beef delivered to Eureka, Illinois locker in the summer of 2026. Typically, half a beef will be around 300 lbs hanging weight. Total cost of JUST the beef is $6 per pound times actual hanging weight. (i.e. 300 lbs x $6 = $1800.)

Locker/processing fees are an additional $300 to $400. Depending on how you want it cut and packaged.

Actual meat is less than hanging weight. Depending on how much bone-in vs. boneless cuts and shrink that occurs during hanging. Click on and open this tab to see an example of how a cow cut out.

These cows are certified organic, were born on our farm and spend their whole life on pasture. They are never in a feedlot, but are fed supplement grain when pasture and/or hay supplied are less than ideal. All grains fed were raised on our farm. The only purchased feeds these cows receive are salt and minerals.

Historical Fiction: A story of redemption

Sweden, December of 1852

Fourteen-year-old Tore Neeson, the village trouble-maker, steals a master carpenter's priceless Nativity to save his sister's life, but a reversal of fortune leaves him more destitute and desperate than ever. To his frustration, he soon finds himself indentured to the very man he wronged.

In his angry struggle to free himself from the control of the inflexible Herr Andersson and the censure of other disapproving villagers, Tore blinds himself to the knowledge that all that stands between him and complete ruin is his most feared and hated enemy: the woodmaster.

Gourdseed corn was popular, prior to the American Civil War, stone ground into cornmeal to make cornbread. It fell out of favor to dent corns which could be milled into either grits or cornmeal. It's whole kernel cornmeal is a little bit like wheat flour and it makes a flavorful cornbread, with a texture that begins to feel almost like cake.

It was sometimes referred by the Indians as tooth corn, and got either name because of the shape of it's kernels. Either it's similarity to a gourd's seed, or to rows of kernels that look like teeth.

Sarah walks us through the process of cooking oatmeal on the stove top. Directions are specifically for cooking our cold rolled raw oat groats, but can be used for cooking any old fashion style rolled oats.

These are hulless oat groats that were sorted out from our food grade oats.

Small oats are relatively clean, but were sorted out because the groats are small in size. 45 lb bag

Cracked oats are not as clean and contain a substanial amount of field debris, groats still in the hull, cracked groats, wheat berries, etc.  45 lb bag

Certified organic.

Made from certified organic yellow dent hybrid corn. NOT HEIRLOOM. Ground kernels and cracked kernels have had the flour/fines sifted out of them allowing them to store better. May contain an occational weed seed or field debris.

50 lb bag if picked up at the farm. 45 lb bag if shipped via UPS or Spee Dee Delivery. (to avoid heavy package shipping surcharge)

A low gluten pastry type wheat that is appropriate for bisciuts, pie crust, pancakes and some quick breads. While low on gluten, it does have a relatively high protein at 11%.

Purple Straw wheat is thought to be the secret ingredient to old time Southern biscuits. A variety of wheat from the 1700s, pre-dating the Revolutionary War, was popular in the "South" until it was crowded out by better yielding modern wheat varieties in the 20th century.

Organic soybeans for feed, mostly splits. These splits would need to be ground finer for small chicks, but are probably fine for most adult chickens, pigs, and larger animals.

Raw soybeans are fine to feed to a ruminant in limited amounts (cows, sheep, goats) but not good for anything with a simple stomach: (monogastrics/ pigs, chickens, etc). (look up trypsin inhibitor).

Roasted soybeans have been heat treated to deactivate the trysip inhibitor present in raw soybeans, making them suitable to feed to either ruminant or monogastric animals. (Roasted soybeans are not yet on my organic certificate, but it is currently applied for.)

50 lb bag if picked up at the farm. 45 lb bag if shipped via UPS or Spee Dee Delivery. (to avoid heavy package shipping surcharge)

The black on the surface of the roasted soybeans in the picture is from the roasting process.

We are looking for feed back on these Black Turtle beans we raised this year.

While they will cook up soft and tender, they still hold their shape after hours of cooking

One thing noticeable: Our harvesting/handling/cleaning equipment is not quite gentle enough for edible beans. We broke/split quite a few.

They are certified organic.
