Farmers Markets: Kenter Canyon Farms has launched its 'farm to toaster' program, with heritage wheatberries, freshly milled flour and breads. It's the first of several such projects.
California farmers raise vast quantities of wheat, but this most basic of foods has remained an industrial commodity, absent from farmers markets. That may be changing, however, since a passionate bread baker, Andrea Crawford of Kenter Canyon Farms , launched her "farm to toaster" program this week, selling locally grown heritage wheatberries and freshly milled flour, and artisanal bread baked from it, at the Santa Monica Wednesday and Hollywood markets. Some of the breads sampled so far are superb, and Kenter's venture heralds a coming wave of local grain.
