Automne Rouge Barbu – A beautiful, rustic variety of Hard Red Winter Wheat that originated along the Rhine River in France where it had been cultivated for quite some time. In 1880 it was mentioned in “The Best Wheats” catalog by Henry Vilmorin, a French wheat merchant and breeder. It caught our attention as simply the most beautiful variety of wheat we have ever grown! It has held our attention as we have closely observed this tall, deep rooted, rustic wheat variety be extremely disease resistant even in the most difficult of years. We believe these attributes offer potential for unique flavor and culinary application.
