The Wheat
SMALL GRAINS, GOOD FOR THE LAND
Working with advisors from the Michael Field's Agricultural Institute, Island Wheat has been selected to precisely match the island's breezy maritime climate and specific soil type. It's a clear advance in agriculture - one where the crop is matched to the land and can be worked into a four-season product. Nothing could be better in a climate that has such a short but productive growing season.THE BOUNTY OF WASHINGTON ISLAND
Island Wheat is truly the first of its kind, with more good things to come. It has been featured on Wisconsin Public Television, by the Agriculture Business Innovation Center at University of Wisconsin - Madison, and as one of the best Wisconsin Rural Development Initiatives of 2006.There are lots of good reasons to buy, eat, drink and think locally and multiple ways to enjoy Island Wheat.
