Pizza night @coldbrookfarm tonight.
We used 25% of our own #einkorn flour. 24 hour fermentation on the dough. Yumola. I think next time, we’ll up the ante and go for a higher percentage. The flavor is so good!! #coldbrookfarm #homemadepizza #roccbox #makeyourownpizza

The numbers are in!!! Our gorgeous Glenn Wheat came in at 13.3% protein and with a Falling Number of 368! My, oh my, the artisan breads this will make!!! And, because yields are way down due to drought, flavor concentration is way up! Bad economics for us as Farmers, but killer for the Bakers in us…thank goodness we’re both. We should have this to market in the next week our two through @rivervalleycommunitygrains!! Stay tuned!!

HARVEST 2022!! 7/20/22 we brought in our gorgeous, lovingly raised Glenn Wheat. Yields were way down due to a profound lack of rain, but the upside is tremendously concentrated flavor and nutrients. This will be an absolute JOY to bake with. Stay tuned for availability through our dear friends @rivervalleycommunitygrains!

Kinda like running a marathon. Regenerative farming and eradicating Creeping Thistle. Buckle up for a long week ahead! On a bright note, our soil continues to increase in organic matter and the thistle is soooo much easier to pull out because of the improved soil health!! #creepingthistle #handweeding #organicfarming #backbreakingwork
