Even if you’re not harvesting for flour, this wheat looks stunning in a garden. Golden stalks waving in the wind bring so much life to the space—and you can eat it, too!
I’m in the Pacific Northwest and this wheat handled the cooler temps just fine. I planted in early spring and harvested by midsummer. Very pleased with the yield.
I grew a small patch to see if I could harvest and use my own flour—and it worked! The wheat matured evenly and threshed easily. Highly recommend for bread lovers.
These seeds gave me healthy, tall plants that withstood wind and light rain well. I love that I’m growing something with a real agricultural legacy behind it.
I was skeptical about growing wheat on a small scale, but Red Fife adapted beautifully to my raised beds. Germination was strong and it grew fast with little input.
