Buckwheat is northern Maine’s superfood for so many reasons:
- It is a dynamic, easy-to-grow cover crop for farmers.
- It is able to thrive in the harshest of conditions, regenerating the soil.
- Buckwheat is a vital pollen source for bees, creating a rich, dark honey.
Bakers love the earthy, nutty, floral notes that buckwheat flour lends to all kinds of goodies (not to mention color and nutrition). Did someone say PLOYES?!
Join Cortnie & Al as they host the Maine Grain Alliance to celebrate this hometown hero with a deep dive into Buckwheat - from the field, to the mill, to our kitchens. |
