Grain harvesting can be done in small spaces, and Homegrown Whole Grains will teach you how to grow, harvest and cook nine nutritious whole grains. From wheat and rice, to heirloom grains, this book has everything you need for a successful grain harvest.

All you need to start grain harvesting is to convert part of your yard into a field of grain. After the harvest you can enjoy nutritious whole grains to use them whole in delicious recipes, or mill them into flour for artisan breads, and other baked goods.This complete grain harvesting book will give you the knowledge you need to grow, harvest and cook nine different grains, including barley, quinoa, millet, buckwheat and oats.

This book by author Sara Pitzer started 30 years ago, when she wrote the book Wholegrains for the original folks of the back-to-the-land movement. Today, she writes about grain harvesting with a different attitude, one that helps modern homesteaders grown their own food at a smaller, more manageable scale.

For the gardener who is anxious to grow more than a variety of vegetables, this grain harvesting book will become a dear resource. Each of the nine grains featured in Homegrown Whole Grains has a different flavor and use, by harvesting them at home, you’ll be able to make such varied foods as whole grain pasta, and will add variety to homegrown food.

About the Author: Sara Pitzer has learned and written about grains in Pennsylvania’s Amish country, California, the American Southeast, Thailand and Peru. She is the author of more than a dozen cookbooks and travel guides.
