    Episode Description

    If you’ve followed the local food movement in Humboldt, I’m sure you’ve come across the name John LaBoyteaux — John generously donates much of his time to share his thoughts about supporting local farmers and land use issues. He is one of the pioneers who is bringing wheat back to Humboldt. That’s right, I said “back” to Humboldt. In the early 1900’s Humboldt County was an award winning region for growing wheat. These were smaller pieces of land that used smaller pieces of equipment to work them — not the giant combines you picture in the great plains region. John recently helped with an effort to study different varieties at the College of the Redwoods farm down in Shively — soft and hard wheats that will soon be available at farmers markets. John has worked with Rhonda Wiedenbeck from Beck’s Bakery to grow some varieties that she can include in her products so we can once again eat bread made from wheat grown in Humboldt.
