Plant, harvest, mill, bake and virtually eat your wheat with our new program, How Wheat Works.

You will track the path of America’s most-consumed grain, from the wheat field to the table, and give back to America’s troops!

From Concept to Reality to Virtuality
 Wheat partakes in an amazing journey from the time its seed is planted until its appearance on your plate. We told wheat’s farm-to-fork story by bringing a live wheat field to New York City in October 2008, and we continue to educate people about the life cycle of America’s most-consumed grain through our Web site. Our farm-to-fork efforts continue. Check out the Urban Wheat Field for educational materials.
