Red Fife is a heritage variety of hard red spring wheat grown in Canada as far back as 1840. Heritage wheats are unique cultivars that have existed since before the “Green Revolution” of the mid 1900s, and are known for their genetic diversity and adaptability in challenging growing conditions. Traditionally planted as a Spring wheat, we have had success growing this as a winter variety, which helps to keep the soil covered before greening up the following spring.

Whole Wheat flour contains 100% of the wheat - the nutrient dense germ, starch filled endosperm, and fiber rich bran.
