Our organic wheat fields under-seeded with clover are off to a great start! 🌾 ☘️

Although this heat wave has felt nice after a long winter, we’re hoping not to stay in the 90°s for a long stretch; wheat prefers a cooler start to the season 🌤️

Happy World Bee Day! 🐝

We’re sharing some of our favorite BEE-utiful photos from the garden to acknowledge the important role that pollinators play in our ecosystem.

Organic agriculture helps to support pollinators by eliminating their exposure to toxic chemicals/pesticides/insecticides and neonicotinoids that harm them, providing a safer environment for our buzzy friends to thrive.

Wheat Berry Chickpea Soup 🥣

A delicious, healthy and nourishing soup made with, you guessed it, our certified organic wheat berries! 🌾 You’ll want to give this one a try!

Ingredients:
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 large sweet onion, diced
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 cup dried chickpeas (soaked overnight with 4 cups of water and 2 tsp baking soda)
- ½ cup Askegaard Organic Farm Certified Organic Wheat Berries (soaked overnight with the chickpeas). We used our hard red spring wheat in this recipe, but any variety would work!
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 3 cups water
- 4 celery stalks, chopped
- 1-28 oz can diced tomatoes
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 ½ tsp sea salt
- ⅛ tsp pepper
- 2 tsp sweet paprika
- 2 tsp cumin
- 2 tsp turmeric
- 1 tsp dry thyme
- ⅛-¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
- ¾ cup fresh chopped cilantro (reserve some fresh cilantro as a garnish to add before serving, if desired)

Directions:
1. Soak the chickpeas and wheat berries overnight. Put them in a bowl with 4 cups of water and 2 teaspoons of baking soda. Cover & set aside.
2. Rinse & drain the soaked chickpeas and wheat berries.
3. In a soup pot, heat the olive oil, onions and garlic. Sauté on medium heat for approximately 5 minutes or until translucent.
4. Add drained chickpeas, wheat berries, and 4 cups of vegetable broth and bring to a soft boil for 40 minutes or until the chickpeas are soft.
5. Add 3 cups of water and the rest of the ingredients except for the lemon and cilantro. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 90 minutes.
6. Remove bay leaves. Add the lemon and fresh cilantro, mix well and turn off the heat.
7. Add fresh cilantro as a garnish right before serving the soup (optional)
