Back then she wrote Whole Grains as a self help manual. She likens the economic and cultural uncertainty of the 60s and 70s to today’s concerns over climate, the economy and food safety. In the intervening years a small group of like minded, dedicated people have pioneered growing grains in back yards (as opposed to large scale farming methods). Many of them have shared their ideas and information with Sara Pitzer who has incorporated this knowledge in her updated Homegrown Whole Grains.
