Our cereals

Grain is a broad term and you may have heard of cultivated grains, spelt, spelt, rye. But what is what and why is it grown? Read more here!

Lost

Ryegrass Bromus secalinus and Spellless B. grossus has been grown in Sweden for thousands of years and was an important part of agriculture. They disappeared in the early 20th century but are now being grown again by me. Despite their names, they are neither rye nor spelt, but a whole different grain, Losta. They have also been called faxe, gasse and other names. These unique grains have rich flavors and high levels of beta-glucans, which makes them both useful and interesting to reintroduce.

Jämtland barley

From the areas around Storsjön, Österund in Jämtland comes the Jämtland grain, which is completely unique.
We grow it on the farm to propagate, partly to harvest and use for flour and other products, but also to build up a seed stock to get seeds back to Jämtland where they come from.

Dala Country Wheat

We grow Dala Lantvete, an old spring-sown wheat variety, population, from Dalarna. Which is known for its good taste, good baking properties and great diversity. They grow tall, much taller than modern varieties, and can therefore keep weeds away very well. Many of the wheats have bristles/titer and some ears are reddish while others are more yellow-white. Beautiful! 

Gotland spelt

A lot of other grains are also propagated and tested on the farm. For example, Gotlandsspelt, also called dinkel, from Gotland.
