We weighed our wheat berries and totalled up 2752 grams or about 6 pounds.

It is amazing that we put wheat seeds in the ground in early May and ate bread in mid September on our garden porch just a few feet from where it was planted. Many people took part, from clearing the beds to threshing the wheat — hours of labour! Don’t forget this was grown in our rich compost soil.

Looking at the small bag of wheat berries we produced, one might ask, is it was worth the effort? Answer: a thousand times “Yes”! We all learned about an ancient, vital part of our food history, WHEAT production, part of our human history for almost 10,000 years. [Wheat was first cultivated in the regions of the Fertile Crescent around 9600 BC.]

Our project was stimulated by ‘The Wheat to Flour Project’, from John and Samiko at the Sunset Community Garden. Our participants at City Farmer were directed by Sheryl. Thank you all for this successful effort!

Numbers: We weighed our wheat berries and totalled up 2752 grams or about 6 pounds. AI estimates that our organic food-grade wheat berries are worth between $10 and $24 dollars Canadian averaging $2 -$4 per pound. We are city growers not prairie farmers.

Sheryl turned the wheat berries into flour using her Vitamix blender for dry grains. She then used a small sifter to further clean the flour.
