Basic Cooking Instructions: Add 1 cup grain to 3 cups boiling water.
Cover, reduce heat and simmer for approximately 2 hours (50-60 minutes
if presoaked).
-
Sprouting Instructions: Soak 1 cup of wheat berries for 12 hours in a
jar of water. If using the tray method and the holes are small, you can
put the soaked seeds directly on the tray. Once they have sprouted, spread
them out and place the entire tray inside a clear plastic bag. Punch a
few holes in the bag to let air circulate. Keep the bottom of the tray
slightly elevated to allow air to reach the roots. Rinse at least twice
a day. The sprouts should be ready in 2 to 3 days.

Azure Farm is located in the foothills east of Mt. Hood with a fantastic
view of the Cascades and farm land in the valleys below. This is wheat
growing country where dry-land farming produces an abundance of soft white
wheat and other grains. But what makes our farm different from most other
wheat farms is our growing practices. We’ve been growing organically for
over 25 years, and are attempting to go beyond basic “organic” (which only
ensures which harmful things have not been used). We try to keep up with
organic soil amendments that will actually improve our soil, and consequently
improve the food itself.
-
Any items with the Azure Farm label which are not grown on Azure Farm,
are from farms which we know have been growing organically for many years,
doing whatever they can to ensure healthy soil, so the food on your table
is also healthy.
-
Why go organic? Organic foods are grown without synthetic fertilizers,
pesticides, or herbicides. Organic foods are not genetically modified.
Organic foods are grown in soil that is nurtured, not treated... which
means top soil, groundwater, rivers, lakes, streams, watersheds, fish &
wildlife, and people are not compromised. Healthy food grows in healthy
soil. You can often taste the organic difference!
