Blue Bird Grain Farms Organic Whole Grain Einka® Einkorn - 1lb

Bluebird Grain Farms' goal is to cultivate and mill the most irresistible, nutrient-rich ancient grains they can while leaving this land healthier for the next generation.

In 2004 they started Bluebird Grain Farms as a husband and wife team because they could not find locally grown organic grains in the Pacific Northwest. They started by growing and selecting their ancient grain seed sock, cultivating and harvesting grains, and processing them to order, farm-direct to provide the market with the freshest, highest quality grain money can buy. For their family and staff, great taste, real nutrition, and a thriving countryside go hand in hand—you simply don’t get one without the others.

From the farm, “Moving toward the future, Bluebird’s founding principles in soil health, nutrition, and agroecology are expanded beyond the Methow Valley as we partner with like-minded “tried and true” organic grain farmers who share our founding principles of growing food for soil health and optimal nutrition. As we build regional farmer partnerships and expand our network of certified organic growers, our commitment to the land and our customers only gets stronger.”

Whole-grain einkorn is rich in protein, phosphorus, vitamin B6, potassium and essential trace minerals.  It is considered a type of farro (an Italian term for ancient hulled wheat). Its simple gluten structure gives appeal to those suffering from gluten sensitivities. Our einkorn berries are a nutritional powerhouse.  When cooked this simple ancient wheat berry offers wonderful possibilities for pilafs, risottos, soups, and salads.
