I found a place near me that does sell Hard Red Winter Wheat seed, but the issue now is that it isn't the season that they carry it. Gotta wait until August if I am buy at this place.

If anyone is interested:

You want seed wheat? If you want it to eat rather than plant, make sure it isn't treated. And you don't want GM seed, either. There must be other places. AUGUST?

Thanks Susan. I am going to do some investigation on these sources and no I was going for all organic seeds. It is planted in late fall and "over winters" in the ground and grows right away in spring.

Here is a short overview:

"It is planted in late fall and "over winters" in the ground and grows right away in spring."

Yes, I was just reading that in Gene Logsdon's book "Small-Scale Grain Raising", and thought that I would try it next year, mostly as an experiment. Right now, I just use the hard red from the bulk food bins at the grocery store, and put it on pots to grow grass for the indoor cats. How much area were you planning on planting?

None currently, but I have thought about tilling up the yard and planting wheat. :-) Actually though, I am going to use a large portion of our 44W' X 125D' city lot to plant veggies this summer and canning the excess.

I have been looking around and I might have a couple of sources for wheat. I will let you know when all the queries come in.
