It’s giveaway time, folks!
For our first giveaway, we are offering TWO lucky folks two loaves of local bread, one whole meal, and one with sifted flour (using the amazing new mill!) These will be sourdough loaves, made by Ben at Wheatberry with wheat grown right here in Hadley MA at Alan Zuchowski’s Lazy Acres Farm, as testers for our upcoming local bread shares program.

I would love to win this contest, thanks for providing the opportunity to eat your wonderful bread!
Tom really wants to make Italian bread with the local wheat, so he’d love to see how the white bread comes out. (And I can’t imagine not using the rest of the berry. So I guess I could be making a lot of scones this winter!)
sounds like a wine, cheese and bread party with friends! yum!!
yum!!!
Local grain bread in the heart of New England! Wow. It chokes me up to think it’s taken much of a century, but finally it’s happenings.
Blessings on all those bringing the staff of life and more to this fine valley, and to the sacred earth. -Paul
MMMMMMM! I love what you do! What art!
How about offering a sourdough bread class someday? Would love to learn about starters!
Ellen,
We probably ill do some classes this winter – thanks for sharing your interest.
Yum! I love everything you guys bake! And local grain to boot…
Eat bread and salt and speak the truth.
good for you! good for us!
Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I remember when I first heard whispers, little rumblings of local wheat/grain initiatives and projects in the valley.
Seeing everything realized is so amazing and Wheatberry’s breads go so well with their hearty soups
that I’ve enjoyed so much in the cold of winters past! Congratulations!!
Count me in!
I’m so excited to find a (somewhat) local source for flour and other grains. I’m in East Bridgewater, but I’m willing to make the trip just to check out the bakery. The mill is gorgeous. Can’t wait to try your breads-free or not-and other goodies!
Please enter me in the bread contest. I am so happy to tell you that I was the hide bidder at the CISA fundraiser last week and obtained some whole wheat flour AND the beautiful bowl made by the inspiring Joan Rising.
Ooooo! It doesn’t get any better than local flour!!!! YUM!
there once was a wee wheatberry
whose life had been ever so merry
when it was plump
its heart went thump
transformed by the wee bread fairy
NOTHING in the world as good as good bread. It is more than just the ingredients.
This bread would be awesome smothered with the wonderful peach preserves that we canned with Bethany and Seth! (PS B&S – We’ll share with you if we win.)
What a beautiful piece of woodworking/machinery! Stand back, valley, here comes FRESH flour and bread!
Oh my goodness, this looks amazing! What a wonderful giveaway!

“A loaf of bread,” the Walrus said, “Is what we chiefly need.” –I couldn’t agree more!
I’m a former newspaper food editor, and when I used to hear people use the word “gourmet,” I thought: They don’t really understand what good food is all about. THIS is what good food is all about.
Local, hand-made bread!
Good food and good people, that’s what it is all about. Thanks Wheatberry and NESFI for supporting your community with local organic grains, what could be better than this?!! I feel so blessed to live in this area and be surrounded by amazing people who share a similar consciousness. Happy Baking!!
Amazing! What you are doing is inspiring – and it just feels so natural. Keep up the good work!
