It was a magical weekend sharing Bickford wheat at the Variety Showcase in Cold Spring, NY! This is the first new wheat to come out of WI in decades, bred by UW Madison with both farmers and bakers giving input in over 10 years of crosses and trials. Madison Sourdough was proud to host some of those baking trials, and to now share it with the public through the Variety Showcase. Drew made a brioche and a sourdough batard, both with 100% Bickford wheat, which we served alongside chefs and bakers from across the country, each highlighting their own new organic grain, vegetable, or fruit. Thank you Culinary Breeding Network 💗 by Lane Selman and Glynwood for hosting us and putting on such a special event!
