About Me:

I have a large, home garden in south central Vermont. I have been growing heritage and landrace grains on an extremely small scale since 2009 with the goal of discovering interesting and valuable old varieties and sharing seed with others who can grow more than I can. How many grains I grow each year varies, and I’m not growing as many now as I did in the past.

A soft, white, winter wheat, originally released in 1895 by G.A. Read of Charlotte, Vermont. A cross between Canadian heritage varieties Bearded Fife x Early Arcadian with plump, blond grains. Very productive, multi-tillered plants with an unusually-shaped seed head (thicker at the top) that is typical of a club wheat.
