we recently visited one of our farmer partners, Schmitt Organic Farms near Wolf Point, Montana, to meet the team behind the wheat for our stone milled bread and bagels!!! ๐๐ฅฏ they grow high protein spring wheat, and when we visited, the fields were in the grain filling stage (starting to yellow + dry down as harvest gets closer!) ๐พ
but getting a great crop starts loooong before harvest. soil health, moisture, temperature + w**d pressure all play a role in how the wheat develops throughout the season. the team looks for plump kernels with a red tint, which can be a sign of high test weight and protein!
weโre pretty lucky to work with farmers who care this much about the wheat they grow, and we think you can taste the difference in every loaf + bagel!!! ๐
