Farmers
These are our wheat farmers. They make up the Shepherd’s Grain Cooperative, a Food Alliance certified group of farms around Reardon, Washington. They have made an unprecedented commitment to practice a no-till method of cultivation, to grow a hard winter wheat, retaining the grain’s identity and to sell the product in the local market instead of shipping the entire crop overseas. This is all a new way of thinking.
We make every effort to buy our food from local farmers and food purveyors. Most of the farms are either certified organic or Food Alliance members. The parade of growers that come through our Commissary every week is incredible. We are so lucky to have access to their beautiful food. They are some of the most dedicated, hard-working people we will ever meet.
