The grain CSA we bought from Pioneer Valley Heritage Grains has finally come in. We split our share down the middle. What follows is what is in a whole share, and what follows that are some scenes from the efforts to make some order of it all. Yes, those are pillowcases we are storing the grains in. They tell us that because these grains have not been industrially dehydrated, they need to breath otherwise they’ll mold.
Also, we’re in the market for an inexpensive (or free!) mill. Any type, really, but one of the Kitchenaid attachments would be great.

Awesome! Look at all of that goodness!
Keep us posted on how it all goes! I’m on the mailing list thinking about getting it next season. Some sort of community mill is definitely in demand here!
I’m on the mailing list too, but thinking I’ll definitely need to split the share. Thanks for keeping us in the loop, I’m interested to see how it goes.
