Notes
Rye is in the same family as wheat and historically was used in distilling and thatching. Nowadays most farmers are planting rye for animal feed. With the rise in craft bakeries, rye is also going into baked goods. We visit a farmer and food seller benefitting from this very old but increasingly trendy grain.
