15 Lbs. Heirloom Turkey Red Wheat Berries~Hard Red Winter Wheat Berries

Description: 15 Lbs. Heirloom Variety Turkey Red~~Hard Red Winter Wheat Berries. Chemical Free. This heirloom variety wheat is grown, harvested and packaged on our farm in Southwest Nebraska. Only the cleaning is done off the farm. We have our wheat tested for molds and toxins by CertifiedLabs®, an independent laboratory to assure a safe, quality food product. As we use our wheat to bake our family's bread, we use NO chemicals such as herbicides, pesticides or fungicides. Because Turkey Red is not a hybridized variety, it may be easier for people with a gluten intolerance (excluding people with celiac disease) to digest and it will grow true from seed--year after year. Our wheat is vacuum-packed and heat sealed in a food-grade mylar bag. We preserve the freshness of our wheat by flushing the oxygen from the bag with food-grade carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is found naturally in the atmosphere and is completely safe. We have used this process for over 20 years and have never had bugs or any type of molds in our wheat. We do NOT use fungicides, pesticides or herbicides. This means no glyphosate. Turkey Red Wheat was brought to Kansas in the 1870s by German immigrants from the Ukraine while the westward expansion of America was in full swing. These immigrants filled their steamer trunks with the wheat they grew in Russia--Turkey Red. This became the primary wheat variety in America, grown until the mid-1940s, when it was replaced by higher-yielding hybrids. Most of today's hybrid varieties came from Turkey Red. During the time that Turkey Red ruled in the U.S.A.--from 1875 to 1945--Alexander Graham Bell made the first telephone call and the world went thru a major depression and experienced two world wars. We are small family farmers located in Southwest Nebraska. Our family has been raising wholesome hard red winter wheat since 1906. We truly appreciate your interest and welcome your questions!
