Bring the heart of the grain belt to your garden with Hard White Wheat, a storied heirloom variety cherished by gardeners, homesteaders, bakers, and seed collectors alike. This wheat is more than a crop—it’s a living connection to agricultural heritage, a source of wholesome, nutty flavor, and a gateway to self-sufficiency in your kitchen and pantry.

Why Hard White Wheat Stands Out:
This heirloom wheat produces tall, robust stalks crowned with plump, chalky-white kernels. Renowned for its high yield and superior bread-making quality, it thrives in a variety of climates, performing especially well in cool to moderate zones. Its kernels mill into fine, light-colored flour with a mild, subtly sweet flavor, perfect for artisan breads, pancakes, muffins, and even sprouting for fresh, green shoots rich in vitamins and minerals. Growing Hard White Wheat at home connects you to a tradition of whole-food living and hands-on culinary creativity.
