The Organic Grain Grower: Small-Scale, Holistic Grain Production for the Home and Market Producer

The Organic Grain Grower book by Jack Lazor is one of the most detailed books on growing grains that we’ve found.  While our homestead only dabbles in grain growing, we expect to do more in the future and expect to be re-reading this book again and again.  It is well worth the money if you are into growing your own grains.  

The author has provided detailed information on corn, wheat, barley, oats, rye, spelt, triticale, soybeans, dry beans, oil seeds, buckwheat, grass seed, and legume seed.  He also includes pictures of machinery that the small farmer would use for growing grains (geared more for mid-size tractors).  He has also included lots of color photos of grains.  

We believe this is a book for everyone interested in small grain growing.

I just adore the “Little House” series.  As a little girl, I read every Laura Ingalls Wilder book I could get ahold of.  Imagine my delight when I discovered this cookbook!  I actually own the previous printing which has a slightly different cover.  

For all the fans of Laura Ingalls Wilder and the Little House series, you need to own this book!  You will not be disappointed.

From Amazon:  “With more than half a million copies of their books in print, Jeff Hertzberg and Zoë François have proven that people want to bake their own bread, so long as they can do it easily and quickly. Based on fan feedback, Jeff and Zoë have completely revamped their first, most popular, and now-classic book, Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day.

Responding to their thousands of ardent fans, Jeff and Zoë returned to their test kitchens to whip up more delicious baking recipes. They’ve also included a gluten-free chapter, forty all-new gorgeous color photos, and one hundred informative black-and-white how-to photos. They’ve made the “Tips and Techniques” and “Ingredients” chapters bigger and better than ever before, and included readers’ Frequently Asked Questions.

This revised edition also includes more than thirty brand-new recipes for Beer-Cheese Bread, Crock-Pot Bread, Panini, Pretzel Buns, Apple-Stuffed French Toast, and many more. There’s nothing like the smell of freshly baked bread to fill a kitchen with warmth, eager appetites, and endless praise. Now, using Jeff and Zoë’s innovative technique, you can create bread that rivals those of the finest bakers in the world in just five minutes of active preparation time.”

We have the original book and have made many of the recipes.  The fact that they have a “new” book should indicate how wonderful this book is.  A “must have” for all home bakers.
