Harvest only lasts a few weeks, but farming is 365 days a year.

From our family to yours, we wish you a very Merry Christmas!

Today, as tables are filled with family, warmth, and delicious food, we pause to give thanks for the wheat that went into every roll, every stuffing, and every sweet treat. Thank you to our Washington wheat farmers for another year of hard work that truly helps make these celebrations possible. May your day be filled with peace and joy.

Wheat has been feeding people for generations. Turns out how bread is made matters just as much as what goes into it. From fermentation to baking methods, wheat can absolutely be part of a happy, healthy gut. Dive in and see why wheat still earns its place at the table.

Bread has long been a staple in America—from morning toast to lunchtime sandwiches to Christmas dinner rolls. Here in Washington, most wheat grown is the soft white class, characterised by low protein and weak gluten strength.

This is how our wheat survives the winter! The snow isn't just scenic; it's a critical layer of insulation for the dormant wheat below. It shields the vulnerable crop from freezing temperatures and desiccating winds. Thank you, Mother Nature, for giving our wheat the rest it needs to grow strong and provide a bountiful harvest next summer.

It may not look like much, but the snowpack is our lifeline! ❄️

Approximately 25% of Washington's annual moisture comes from the mountain snowpack. This crucial meltwater feeds our streams and aquifers, making it absolutely essential for the wheat fields and communities across our state. Every flake matters!
