This may sound like a commercial but, believe me, my enthusiasm for the
following wheat is based on my use of it during the past 15 years. Wheat
Montana Farms, a company based in Three Forks, MT sells both hard red and
hard white wheat berries consistantly containing approximately 17% protein.
It's a very clean wheat and lends itself very well to home grinding.
Their red wheat is called "Bronze Chief" and the white wheat (often known
as "sweet wheat" is called "Prairie Gold" white wheat. They have at least
one outlet store in the Three Forks, MT area where their wheat may be
purchased but other than that I believe one must contact speciality stores
who buy from various distributors. In my case I purchase it through a co-op
who buys it from Mountain Peoples Warehouse out of Auburn, CA. Perhaps if
you contact Wheat Montana on the internet you can learn more about its
availability in your particular area.
I pay about $15.60 for a 50# bag which figures about 31 cents a pound.
HAPPY BAKING!!!
