25.01.2022 We are so thankful for keen, careful and organised farmers like Andrew who drove this field bin from off site to use for transferring the freshly harvested crop from header to bin to bulka bags so the carrier can deliver to our grain shed. It’s all pretty small scale and potentially very inconvenient but we take it very seriously! These guys get it and assist us with our humble efforts! Harvest time is hot, dry, dusty and the days are long with other jobs being completed before this one is tackled. Yep, we are excited

18.01.2022 It’s all sand and grain action for the next 10 days here. Thanks for the wonderful wishes and friendships this year! See you in January for more bread and flour, cheers the Small Worlds!

18.01.2022 What a team here. As @camben_farms takes off the last of the Espy mix wheat crop Andrew is planning a nice grazing interlude for the lambs on this thick soft stubble, before drilling millet seed into the residue for an opportunistic summer forage crop. There’s also a list of Things to Do/Build/Buy before the next wheat season begins in April 2021

17.01.2022 Late afternoon scene when the teenage boys come in after some hard graft on the garden chipper. There’s hot sourdough from the oven and peanut butter for slathering. I’ve got one or two of Mum’s natural food and gardening books from the 1980s which encourage instinctual food choices. I remember Dorothy Hall and maybe Jackie French mentioning teenager cravings for nuts, cheese, yoghurt are great solutions for feeding inflamed skin, growing bodies with calcium carrying vitamin A into their systems. These days I love reading animal nutrition and soil microbiology material, and there are parallels everywhere! #notanutritionist #brownfood #grandmasfood

17.01.2022 A good news story on the future of food production and farming in response to a changing climate. We are part of trialling perennial grains to bring a food focus to this fantastic research project: The Perennial Artisan Grains project lead by Matthew Newell of New South Wales Dept Primary Industries has been developing an integrated livestock and cropping system based on perennial cereal grains. Matt explains: ‘a global effort to develop grain crops which are perennial could ...help reverse the effects of annual crop production....Perennials dedicate more resources to root development and can access soil moisture while at the same time storing carbon deep in the soil. In this way perennial grain crops can act as an adaptive and mitigation strategy in the face of climate change’. First loaf is a sprouted Mountain Rye sourdough where the coriander/caraway seed spiciness of sprouted perennial rye grains were added to a wheaten dough. Next up an Approachable sliced soft wholewheat loaf using one of the large grain perennial wheat lines grown by Matthew Newell and bred by @wsu_bread_lab in Washington State . Partners in the Project are @tuerongfarm ( see latest post on Milling the grains into flour) @wildflowerbeer @berkelo.au @wholegrain_milling @csirogram @nestleanz See more

15.01.2022 Baked, to be packed, then delivered right to the door. It’s Friday night and we are enjoying a moment of appreciation for the local farmers who grow our grain, @newamericanstonemills who crafted our stone mill, the trade specialists in our region who listened carefully when we needed small scale equipment solutions and the folks who sign up for fresh sourdough bread deliveries each Wednesday and Saturday. Thanks for taking time for a project that’s a bit incongruous but hopefully gives you all the pleasure and sustenance!

15.01.2022 The Flame raisins are back thanks to @tabletopgrapes, Irymple, Vic. Inky glossy black, sweet and acidic- our favourite natural dried fruit! Sunmuscats have been beaut- tawny coloured and grapey sweet flavour, but we really love the Flames.

14.01.2022 Our Approachable Loaf is a fun way to confront the personal with the political with bread! Here’s how:

13.01.2022 Cleaning Sceptre wheat grown in Langhorne Creek by Brett Phillips. Sunday jobs, making room in the grain store for next season’s harvest, due late November, weather depending.

12.01.2022 International Wholegrain Day is a thing, and an opportunity for us to celebrate the deliciousness of wholegrain foods. Don’t stress about mastering sourdough loaves... make 1 egg:100g wholegrain flour pasta... or make your dough dough into flatbreads cooked in your dry hot pan. Help farmers increase their wheat yield, feed more people, and eat the whole grain!

11.01.2022 This is our set up for cleaning the 2020 wheat harvest. Whenever I come across something useful on Insta I save it under file names like ‘farming’, ‘grains’, ‘adventures’, ‘art’ and ‘inspo’. We get such a kick out of thinking about how to make a human-scale grain operation #graincleaning #graincleaningequipment #identitypreservedgrain

11.01.2022 That’s the tall straws showing their stuff up at Mintaro, 2.5 hours north of Langhorne Creek. Brodie Smith and his sister Ingrid run their family property organically, producing wine grapes, sheep, oats, hay and honey. 2nd slide- Celebration Wheat with its fantastic reed like stem; 3rd - Sonora soft white wheat with large heads this year. There’s some lodging (falling over) this year which is a first and not great, but we always say if they can’t hang on in the paddock there’s no point persisting to get them into the mill. There are plenty more tall wheats that can withstand the rains and breezes of spring. 4th - Purple Straw is taking on its colour now (and to borrow from The Odyssey, just before senescence this plot will be wine-dark waves in a glittering golden sea )

10.01.2022 Kids are home so that means a big pack night coming up before our holiday Last bake Wed 23 Dec; Baking again Sat 9 Jan 2021. That’s a 2 week break. Might even drive over the border! Orders open for this Saturday and next Wednesday, friends.

09.01.2022 We mill a small amount of malted barley grain from our friends @bosworthwines . Joch Bosworth sometimes grows a crop of malting barley in the rows between his organic vines. As well as delicious Spring Seed and Battle of Bosworth wines from McLaren Vale and Kangaroo Island Joch and Louise produce a BoB beer using their malted barley. It’s also a great addition to a couple of our wheat loaves to enhance a burnished crust and glossy crumb. You can malt pretty much any seed or grain - sprout it, roast at below 55C to retain enzyme activity til sweetly aromatic and dry.

09.01.2022 This Orb spider has really gone all out on the parlour. Those insects don’t stand a chance

08.01.2022 It’s got the good slippery chew and wheat flavour from flour stonemilled today - 300g wholewheat flour, 3 @farmerfalkai eggs, splash evoo and tbsp water. Some would disagree with the ingredients but honestly it works!

07.01.2022 Our poppy seeds are grown in Tasmania and since this volunteer popped up where we throw the jug of doughy hand-dipping water we can only imagine those fields in full bloom currently! - And yes, orders are open for Saturday bread and fresh flour, delivered to doorways, verandas, mailboxes, as well as our wonderful depots- @thepicklepot_strathalbyn and @willungageneralstore

07.01.2022 We are very surprised and proud to receive this award today. It’s a recognition of all the friends, farmers, flour and bread customers, clever innovative growers, millers and bakers who are helping each other shift our food system for better. #knowyourproducer #produceawards #makeitdelicious Thanks @deliciousaus @harveynormanau for telling the story of paddock to plate in Australia!

04.01.2022 The population wheats at Andrew Smith’s family farm, Sandergrove, 20 mins from Langhorne Creek. Andrew, Lisa, Prue and Amy farm milking sheep and cows, lucerne, oats and forage crops eg millet. 1st slide - Espy Wheat mixture of WA awned and awnless tall wheats; 2nd - Skagit 1109 (Imported by @tuerongfarm) a long season red wheat cross composite population developed and released open source by @wsu_bread_lab ; 3rd - Langhorne Creek Landrace, a collection of eastern state tall wheats added to over the past 3 seasons with our old Australian lines we were granted by Australian Grains Genebank in 2015. Aren’t they beautiful, like a crowd of free-spirited concert goers?

03.01.2022 Espy Mix Wheat - harvest this weekend. Skagit 1109 population red wheats another month maybe. Flowering time was a month apart, sown in the same date. They’re such beautiful plants

03.01.2022 Making dinner with fresh stoneground flour

03.01.2022 Making bread starts in the field... here at Smith’s Sandergrove farm the first of our wheats was harvested tonight. The header was driven beautifully slowly and carefully by Ben, lowering the knives as close to the ground as to pick up some lodged sections of the crop. There’s a good deal of chaffy stuff in the 5 tonnes as a result, but the grain quality looks lovely and will clean out in our small Clipper cleaner. The grains of this mix are showing theee distinct colours : dusky burnished brown, golden and clear white. Because Chris stone mills the flour whole we will see a darker hue to this flour when we eventually get it into the @newamericanstonemills here.

02.01.2022 Webshop is open for bread orders delivered this Saturday 9th Jan! We finished all the harvesting on 30th Dec- doesn’t Chris look pro operating the Claas Compact ?
