Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Organic Grain Grower is an invaluable resource for both home-scale and commercial producers interested in expanding their resiliency and drop diversity through growing their own grains. Longtime farmer and organic pioneer Jack Lazor covers how to grow and store wheat, barley, oats, corn, dry beans, soybeans, oilseeds, grasses, nutrient-dense forages, and lesser-known cereals. In addition, Lazor argues the importance of integrating grains on the organic farm (not to mention within the local food system) for reasons of biodiversity and whole-farm management. The Organic Grain Grower provides information on wide-ranging topics, from nutrient density and building soil fertility to machinery and grinding grains for livestock rations.--COVER.

This book was released on 2021-04-20 with total page 521 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finalist for the IACP Cookbook Award in Baking and the James Beard Foundation Book Award in Baking and Desserts Named a Best Cookbook of the Year by Bon Appétit, NPR, Washington Post, Epicurious, WBUR Here & Now, and Five Books Named a Best Cookbook of the Spring by Eater, Epicurious, and Robb Report The key to better, healthier baked goods is in the grain. Barley, buckwheat, corn, oats, rice, rye, sorghum, and wheat will unlock flavors and textures as vast as the historic lineages of these ancient crops. As the head baker and owner of a beloved Los Angeles bakery, Roxana Jullapat knows the difference local, sustainable flour can make: brown rice flour lightens up a cake, rustic rye adds unexpected chewiness to a bagel, and ground toasted oats enrich doughnuts. Her bakery, Friends & Family, works with dedicated farmers and millers around the country to source and incorporate the eight mother grains in every sweet, bread, or salad on the menu. In her debut cookbook, Roxana shares her greatest hits, over 90 recipes for reinventing your favorite cakes, cookies, pies, breads, and more. Her chocolate chip cookie recipe can be made with any of the eight mother grains, each flour yielding a distinct snap, crunch, or chew. Her mouthwatering buckwheat pancake can reinvent itself with grainier cornmeal. One-bowl recipes such as Barley Pumpkin Bread and Spelt Blueberry Muffins will yield fast rewards, while her Cardamom Buns and Halvah Croissants are expertly laid out to grow a home baker’s skills. Recipes are organized by grain to ensure you get the most out of every purchase. Roxana even includes savory recipes for whole grain salads made with sorghum, Kamut or freekeh, or easy warm dishes such as Farro alla Pilota, Toasted Barley Soup, or Gallo Pinto which pays homage to her Costa Rican upbringing. Sunny step-by-step photos, a sourcing guide, storage tips, and notes on each grain’s history round out this comprehensive cookbook. Perfect for beginner bakers and pastry pros alike, Mother Grains proves that whole grains are the secret to making any recipe so much more than the sum of its parts.
Download or read book Grain by Grain written by Bob Quinn and published by Island Press. This book was released on 2019-03-05 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A compelling agricultural story skillfully told; environmentalists will eat it up." - Kirkus Reviews When Bob Quinn was a kid, a stranger at a county fair gave him a few kernels of an unusual grain. Little did he know, that grain would change his life. Years later, after finishing a PhD in plant biochemistry and returning to his family’s farm in Montana, Bob started experimenting with organic wheat. In the beginning, his concern wasn’t health or the environment; he just wanted to make a decent living and some chance encounters led him to organics. But as demand for organics grew, so too did Bob’s experiments. He discovered that through time-tested practices like cover cropping and crop rotation, he could produce successful yields—without pesticides. Regenerative organic farming allowed him to grow fruits and vegetables in cold, dry Montana, providing a source of local produce to families in his hometown. He even started producing his own renewable energy. And he learned that the grain he first tasted at the fair was actually a type of ancient wheat, one that was proven to lower inflammation rather than worsening it, as modern wheat does. Ultimately, Bob’s forays with organics turned into a multimillion dollar heirloom grain company, Kamut International. In Grain by Grain, Quinn and cowriter Liz Carlisle, author of Lentil Underground, show how his story can become the story of American agriculture. We don’t have to accept stagnating rural communities, degraded soil, or poor health. By following Bob’s example, we can grow a healthy future, grain by grain.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Tiny People's Lighthouse Learn how the tiny people help the tall man find his way home using their special lighthouse. Summary "The Tiny People's Lighthouse," a charming story of bravery and friendship, takes readers to a world where big and small people meet. This interesting book has 14 exciting chapters that tell the story of the little people's amazing journey and their desire to help a lost tall man. The story starts in a town far away, where the little people live in peace because the tall people can't see them. Their society is based around the lighthouse, which is more than just a building; it's a home that represents guidance and hope. The adventure in the story is led by this lighthouse. Some foggy night, the little people meet a big man who is lost and needs to find his way home. This changes their lives. The villagers get over their original fear of being found out and their varying levels of compassion. To help the stranger, they make the brave choice to use their lighthouse in a way that has never been done before. Little people get together and share what they know and what they have to make the lighthouse's shine stronger. The light was meant to help them find the tall man's way home. What follows shows how well kindness and working together can work. Together, they get past the dangers in their way, like dangerous terrain and thick fog. In the process, they grow closer as friends and learn how important it is to work together. The stubbornness and kindness of the little people teach the tall man new things about the world as the trip goes on. He discovers beauty in the smallest things and sees the world in a new way. At the end of their journey, the lighthouse appears out of the darkness, shining brighter than before to lead them back to shore. It is a moving reflection of how harmony and purpose can bring light. The big guy in "The Tiny People's Lighthouse" says goodbye to the tiny people with a lot of love. His promise to himself is that he will always remember how they taught him to be brave, kind, and friendly. The locals go back to their homes, knowing that their lighthouse will always be there to guide anyone who gets lost, not just them. This interesting book teaches kids a very important lesson: by being brave and kind, everyone, no matter how big or small, can make a big difference. Chapter 1: The Small Town In a corner of a world that is very different from ours, there is a secret alcove that can't be seen by people who look down from high places and take very big steps. There are people living here, but there aren't a lot of big buildings and loud noises. Instead, it's a small group of people who are so small that you would miss them even if you were right next to them. These small groups of people have made their homes in perfect harmony with nature. They sometimes hide from the mushroom caps that look like tiny umbrellas in the landscape, either inside the hollows of old tree trunks or under the leaves of big trees. They are happy with their lives and the small people who live in their secret world. They are a clever and innovative group of people who make their own tools out of things they can find in nature. They use sand grains as building blocks, branches to make the beams for their homes, and flowers to make the comfortable beds they sleep on. Firefly lamps give off a soft glow that lights up every home in their world. Spun spider silk windows let in warm light that makes a kaleidoscope of natural beauty. A lighthouse is the most important thing in their town and a huge source of pride for their small community. Compared to the grand lighthouses we're used to seeing, this one is just a dot in the middle of their remote cove. For the little people, though, it's a beautiful tower made of pebbles, leaves, and nut shells that the locals put together with great skill and spider silk. When it gets dark, the lighthouse always shines brightly, showing the way and keeping people safe. It gets its magical light from the glowworms that the little people take great care of. Not only is this light a beacon, but it's also a beautiful, sparkling sign of how the little people work together to protect and guide each other. The way people live in the small village is set by natural forces. The tiny people rise along with the sun as it shines through their leafy canopy, making a mosaic of light and shade. All day long, they can hear soft sounds from nature, like streams running nearby, the wind whispering, and bees buzzing. Their days are spent taking care of their gardens, which are full of little vegetables and flowers of every color. It always smells like sweet baking and sounds like happy kids singing. Communities like theirs are very close and are based on trust and respect. Each person makes a choice while sitting in the middle of town, under the stars and the soft light of their lighthouse. Each little person has a job to do and makes the town a better place to live. Everyone's work is appreciated, from farmers who take care of the land so that it yields lots of crops to workers who make clothes and blankets out of silk. The little people are brave, even though they are small. They often go out into the vast wilderness that surrounds their town. They move through streams on the backs of friendly bugs and use sticks as bridges to get across gaps. Their world is full of fun things to do, but their lighthouse always leads them back to their safe town. The soothing light from the tower makes you think of home and safety. It talks about shared meals, nights of laughter, and how nice it is to be close to people you care about. It's more than just a building; it represents the little people's love, determination, and connection to the outside world. The small town does well in this faraway part of the world, showing what can be done when people work together toward a common goal. Even though they are small, tiny people have big hearts and goals. People who see their lighthouse are given hope, and it also serves as a warning that even a small light can get you through the darkest night. Everything in this world is amazing, every moment is loved, and the lighthouse's soft glow at night makes every night better. Chapter 2: The Tall Man Who Got Lost. One very foggy evening, a tall man was walking around, and the mist was so thick that it looked like it covered the whole world in white. This wanderer wasn't like most; he was taller than all the small houses and trees that made up the hidden village of little people. A "tall one," as the little people called him, from the world outside their secret nook, where the sky was big and the land was empty. With his big steps and long legs, the tall guy had pretty much stumbled upon the small people's secret town. He was not only nearby, but he was also totally lost and didn't know how to find his way home. He was walking through the tall, wild trees that surrounded the small town when all of a sudden, fog came in and caught him off guard. The trees were usually friendly and easy to spot, but now they looked like huge shadows that were scary and bent in strange ways. He felt like he was the only person in a huge, never-ending cloud of mist. Paths that were visible during the day were now hidden. He yelled, hoping someone would answer, but the fog made it impossible for him to speak. Even though he was a big guy, he felt small at that moment, which is something that smaller people bravely deal with every day. Instead of being excited about a trip, his heart was racing with worry. He only wanted the comfort of home, even though he had always been an explorer, eager to find new ways to do things and share stories. He had been able to walk on these feet before, but now they seemed shaky; with each step, they shook as if they were wondering, "Which way do we go?" As the evening went on, the tall man's situation got worse. It was hard to tell the difference between the sky and the ground because of the thick, steady fog. It looked like all directions were equal. He had no sun or stars to help him find his way. He had never been so lost before. He wasn't only lost, but he also felt cut off from everything he knew and held dear, including his family and friends. To see through the fog, he lit a small lamp that was in his pocket. But it looked like the light was hidden by the fog, so it didn't offer much comfort or direction. He thought about his home, the people he loved, the safety of his bed, and the fire in the fireplace. He thought about them wondering where he was and was getting more worried by the minute. These thoughts didn't make him feel better; instead, they made him realize how far away he was from his own home. Even though he was getting more and more down, the tall guy kept going. He chose to keep moving because he thought he would eventually find his way. He told himself words of hope and encouragement with each step, pleading with the world to lead him back to a place he knew. He thought back to stories he had read about travelers who got through the hardest terrain by following the smallest clues and wonders. People who got lost in those stories always found their way back because they believed in the strange and impossible.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reveals an ancient race of Little People, the catalyst for the emergence of the first known civilizations • Traces the common roots of key words and holy symbols, including the scarlet biretta of Catholic cardinals, back to the Little People • Explains how the mounds of North America and Ireland were not burial sites but the homes of the Little People • Includes the Tuatha De Danaan, the Hindu Sri Vede, the dwarf gods of Mexico and Peru, the Menehune of Hawaii, the Nunnehi of the Cherokee as well as African Pygmies and the Semang of Malaysia All cultures haves stories of the First People, the “Old Ones,” our prehistoric forebears who survived the Great Flood and initiated the first sacred traditions. From the squat “gods” of Mexico and Peru to the fairy kingdom of Europe to the blond pygmies of Madagascar, on every continent of the world they are remembered as masters of stone carving, agriculture, navigation, writing, and shamanic healing--and as a “hobbit” people, no taller than 31/2 feet in height yet perfectly proportioned. Linking the high civilizations of the Pleistocene to the Golden Age of the Great Little People, Susan Martinez reveals how this lost race was forced from their original home on the continent of Pan (known in myth as Mu or Lemuria) during the Great Flood of global legend. Following the mother language of Pan, Martinez uncovers the original unity of humankind in the common roots of key words and holy symbols, including the scarlet biretta of Catholic cardinals, and shows how the Small Sacred Workers influenced the primitive tribes that they encountered in the post-flood diaspora, leading to the rise of civilization. Examining the North American mound-culture sites, including the diminutive adult remains found there, she explains that these stately mounds were not burial sites but the sanctuaries and homes of the Little People. Drawing on the intriguing worldwide evidence of pygmy tunnels, dwarf villages, elf arrows, and tiny coffins, Martinez reveals the Little People as the real missing link of prehistory, later sanctified and remembered as gods rather than the mortals they were.

Download or read book Lost Crops of Africa written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1996-02-14 with total page 405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scenes of starvation have drawn the world's attention to Africa's agricultural and environmental crisis. Some observers question whether this continent can ever hope to feed its growing population. Yet there is an overlooked food resource in sub-Saharan Africa that has vast potential: native food plants. When experts were asked to nominate African food plants for inclusion in a new book, a list of 30 species grew quickly to hundreds. All in all, Africa has more than 2,000 native grains and fruitsâ€""lost" species due for rediscovery and exploitation. This volume focuses on native cereals, including: African rice, reserved until recently as a luxury food for religious rituals. Finger millet, neglected internationally although it is a staple for millions. Fonio (acha), probably the oldest African cereal and sometimes called "hungry rice." Pearl millet, a widely used grain that still holds great untapped potential. Sorghum, with prospects for making the twenty-first century the "century of sorghum." Tef, in many ways ideal but only now enjoying budding commercial production. Other cultivated and wild grains. This readable and engaging book dispels myths, often based on Western bias, about the nutritional value, flavor, and yield of these African grains. Designed as a tool for economic development, the volume is organized with increasing levels of detail to meet the needs of both lay and professional readers. The authors present the available information on where and how each grain is grown, harvested, and processed, and they list its benefits and limitations as a food source. The authors describe "next steps" for increasing the use of each grain, outline research needs, and address issues in building commercial production. Sidebars cover such interesting points as the potential use of gene mapping and other "high-tech" agricultural techniques on these grains. This fact-filled volume will be of great interest to agricultural experts, entrepreneurs, researchers, and individuals concerned about restoring food production, environmental health, and economic opportunity in sub-Saharan Africa.

Download or read book Small Scale Grain Raising written by Gene Logsdon and published by Chelsea Green Publishing. This book was released on 2009-05-12 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1977, this book—from one of America’s most famous and prolific agricultural writers—became an almost instant classic among homestead gardeners and small farmers. Now fully updated and available once more, Small-Scale Grain Raising offers a entirely new generation of readers the best introduction to a wide range of both common and lesser-known specialty grains and related field crops, from corn, wheat, and rye to buckwheat, millet, rice, spelt, flax, and even beans and sunflowers. More and more Americans are seeking out locally grown foods, yet one of the real stumbling blocks to their efforts has been finding local sources for grains, which are grown mainly on large, distant corporate farms. At the same time, commodity prices for grains—and the products made from them—have skyrocketed due to rising energy costs and increased demand. In this book, Gene Logsdon proves that anyone who has access to a large garden or small farm can (and should) think outside the agribusiness box and learn to grow healthy whole grains or beans—the base of our culinary food pyramid—alongside their fruits and vegetables. Starting from the simple but revolutionary concept of the garden “pancake patch,” Logsdon opens up our eyes to a whole world of plants that we wrongly assume only the agricultural “big boys” can grow. He succinctly covers all the basics, from planting and dealing with pests, weeds, and diseases to harvesting, processing, storing, and using whole grains. There are even a few recipes sprinkled throughout, along with more than a little wit and wisdom. Never has there been a better time, or a more receptive audience, for this book. Localvores, serious home gardeners, CSA farmers, and whole-foods advocates—in fact, all people who value fresh, high-quality foods—will find a field full of information and ideas in this once and future classic.
