PRINT RECIPE

In Small-Scale Grain Raising (Chelsea Green Publishing, 2009), author Gene Logsdon proves that anyone who has access to a large garden or small farm can and should think outside the agribusiness box and learn to grow healthy whole grains or beans alongside their fruits and vegetables. This recipe for homemade millet bread is from Chapter 8, “Buckwheat and Millet.”
