Prairie Heritage Farm: Beauty

Mocho de Espiga Quadrada

I'm often struck by how beautiful what we grow is. I don't mean what we here at Prairie Heritage Farm grow, necessarily. I mean what we small, diversified farmers who take the time to notice, grow. The way a leaf is shaped to draw water down its stem to its roots. How a seed straps on a parachute to carry itself far and wide. This is a photograph of a heritage wheat variety called Mocho de Espiga Quadrada from Portugal, one of the heritage grains we trialed last year. Why eat anything ugly?
