Hello Friends of the Institute,
We’re trying to grow and harvest all of our food this year to simulate the
collapse of fossil fuels. As part of that, we’ve purchased a tenth of an
acre of organic wheat from a neighbor. In late July, we will harvest it
using scythes and sickles. Then it has to get tied into sheaves and stood
up in shocks to dry. Once dry, it has to be threshed to remove the grains
from the heads, and then winnowed to remove the wheat from the chaff. Once
cleaned, the wheat berries can be ground into flour. You’re invited to come
and join us and bring home some flour for yourself.
We will be taking COVID-19 precautions and working outside.

Hope you're doing well and staying safe.
Scott
