One of our goals is to revive the heirloom grains of California’s past and re-introduce ancient and landrace varieties from around the world.  We have nurtured and cultivated unique varieties of heirloom grains – most notably Sonora White Wheat. 

By the mid 1800s, California and Arizona were ‘America’s breadbasket.’  The farming region, the wheat and its exports were credited with preventing the starvation of both Union and Confederate soldiers during the Civil War.  Wheat production was predominant in the American southwest until the 1940s.
