Announcing: a Community Grains Thing. Read more below the picture.
We have been growing grains for a bit and we would like to share our seeds with you.
Here’s the deal: If you 1. Live in Pittsburgh. 2. Have a little space, say 6x4ft at least, 3. Have the follow through to perform the work required, we’ll give you:
A dozen or so einkorn seed grown here in the city of Pittsburgh in a front yard in Bloomfield. You’ll get coached in how to do the growing via casual emails. What’s it cost? Honest work and dedication. And then by the end of the season depending on what your harvest is like you’ll be asked to return the seeds you borrowed while you keep the rest to grow on your own onward into the future. This a not a “program”, it’s just people sharing things with people. Nor is there a certificate at it’s conclusion, just a new shape emerging in your life. Keep in mind this is not an immediate gratification situation. If you stuck with it you might be able to make some crackers in a couple years. The purpose at first is getting good at growing out the seed.
If you ask interested in getting involved, reach out to fermentpittsburgh@gmail.com Any inquires that are as bland as chewing on cardboard will not be considered.
