Growing and Harvesting Grains In Your Backyard

"Fruits, herbs, and vegetables get
all the attention among gardeners."

"Backyard poultry and goats provide eggs and dairy (and perhaps meat) for some, but what about the staple foods? Wheat, oats, millet, and other grains are actually much easier to grow than most fruits and vegetables, yet we tend to leave those foods to large farms and buy our flour and cornmeal at the grocery store. There is a bit of specialized knowledge needed to grow grains, but there are a couple myths that have turned people off from the idea." 

Learn the in's and out's of growing grains in your backyard! 

It is definitely possible to do this with a little know-how and will power!

In this article you will learn about:
  • The myths of growing and harvesting grains in your backyard

Bexley Farmers' Market: September 10th

Welcome to PEAK SEASON! The summer’s sun and heat (and even all that rain!) have helped grow a deep and delicious variety of farm-fresh ingredients. Our Bexley Farmers’ Market is now rich in tomatoes, corn, eggplant, peaches, peppers, berries, and more.

Delicious and healthy food is just one of the many reasons to shop at the Bexley Farmers’ Market each Thursday from May to October. You can run into and catch up with friends as they shop, listen to music and enjoy a snack. Your shopping dollars support local businesses in the Market and Main Street.

Since 2011, our Bexley Farmers’ Market has been a vibrant and successful addition to our community with over twenty vendors featuring seasonal products that are locally grown. Your loyal patronage has been a vital part of our market’s success.

Fees from farmers and vendors only cover a third of our operating expenses. Community support is vital to our continued success. We encourage you to support the 2015 season of the Bexley Farmers’ Market with a tax deductible gift. Our suggested donor levels below give every donor a chance to pick just the “ripe” level.

Bexley Farmers' Market: September 3rd

“Food, a French man told me once, is the first wealth. Grow it right, and you feel insanely rich, no matter what you own.”
- Kristin Kimball


Give Back to Your Soil: Planting a Fall Cover Crop

Photo Credit: Modern Farmer

"With every garden harvest, the soil nutrients that produced the crop are removed and end up nourishing our bodies, rather than next year's crop. For this reason, farmers and gardeners have to replenish the soil every year. Adding fertilizers and compost is one way to accomplish the task, but nutrients can also be returned with a cover crop—plants that give back to the soil what others have removed." - Brian BarthModern Farmer

Learn more about planting cover crops this fall from Brian Barth's article found on the Modern Farmer website.

While reading this article learn more about:
  • General cover crop facts
  • Which cover crops to plant
  • When to plant your cover crops
  • And, how to sow your cover crop seeds
See you at the market!
