Bluebird Grain Farms bluebirdgrainfarms.com/

Bluebird Grain Farms grows emmer/farro, wheat, rye and flax in healthy, living soils.

BGF says: Here at Bluebird Grain Farms we are about nutrition. Our grains are grown in the Upper Methow Valley and irrigated with pure mountain water straight from the Pasayten Wilderness. We strive to keep our soils nutritionally balanced so that we may reap highly nutritious grains. We do this by integrating green manures and live foliar feeds within a crop rotation of grains, red clover, flax, peas and buckwheat. We time our tillage strategies and field planting for optimum seed germination and reduced weed competition. It is our belief that these combined practices are the cornerstones of “organic farming.” Living soil best propagates life.
