ATG isn't *just* a farm. ATG is a lifestyle. It doesn't take much sleuthing to uncover that plant-based diets are more economically and environmentally friendly than animal-based diets. Many people are transitioning or considering a plant-based diet to lessen their impacts. Educating ourselves about the food choices we have and making decisions that make sense is an important step. The Whole Grains Council shares many informative and fact-based articles - a great place to do... some light reading. https://wholegrainscouncil.org//whole-grains-whole-planet- One myth surrounding plant-based diets is that they lack sufficient proteins. Whole grains pack more than fibre! One serving of ATG whole grains can dish out between 4.65 g (Rye) to 6.93g (Wheat)* of protein! https://wholegrainscouncil.org//protein-packed-whole-grains

Healthy and local!

Happy to support healthy breakfast for supper!

Our Leek and Barley Risotto is a simple and delicious side for most dinners. Cooked with water and butter here, it pairs great with local carrots and fish. Bonus microgreens grown on our windowsill! Locally grown grains have replaced imported rices on our plates. The sparkle of cheap prices for big bags of white rice doesn't fool us. Someone is paying the price for our inefficient and unsustainable global food system. Buying local grains means directly ensuring your food so...urce for years to come. Buying local grains means investing in local farmers who are developing and nurturing strains that can tolerate our climate. Buying local grains means investing in a food system that will not be limited by global trade restrictions in the midst of a pandemic. #wholegrains #localfoodmatters #wholefood #itmakessense #risotto #barley #organic #delicious #nutrientdense #feedingthefamily #supportlocal #forlife

Our Winter Rye is now planted and our cover crops are growing. ‘Farmers plant winter wheat in the fall, following soybean harvest in a typical rotation. This rotation has been shown to help break up pest and disease cycles while utilizing nutrients in the soil to the utmost potential. Farmers plant wheat following soybeans, as soybeans add nitrogen to the soil through nodules on their roots. Wheat is a nitrogen hungry crop, so it is a perfect follow-up to soybeans.’ Sou...rced from: https://goodineverygrain.ca//why-do-farmers-plant-wheat-i/ #RegenAg #soilhealth #knowyourfarmer

Soil health transfers to animal health, which transfers to human health we’re all tied to the soil, says Mike MacGillivray, owner of Kirkview Farms. A lot of farmers use soil to grow plants we use plants to grow soil. Read the full article: bit.ly/2S2ERGP
