This is some special organic heritage oats spread on the germination floor.

Plenty of diversity amongst the organic heritage wheat at brookfield farm

Was this what fields looked like when these grains were grown?

Bumblebee was happy with the poppies anyway!

Intercrop of beans & wheat was all a buzz today with both honey bees and bumblebees.

The wheat will get a constant supply of biologically fixed nitrogen from the beans, hopefully making milling quality

Bere Barley for a May-June harvest to close the hunger gap of olden times?

This is a volunteer from last year's crop but remarkably advanced compared to the winter barley behind it
