Heritage Grains in Contemporary Agriculture

Scandinavians have been using small grains like rye and barley since the Viking age, but how did these grains end up as part of the Norwegian immigrant story?

Benji will teach Sourdough Baking with Heritage Grains at Vesterheim in November 2024. Class registration will be available on August 20 here.
