Farming is very hard work. Thank you to all the farmers out there for all you do.

Amazing. This is something every school child should see so that they can relate to what is on their table. Bravo Laura. You really are a garden/farming hero!

Hey Laura ... baker here. You used whole wheat flour for your biscuits hence why they were denser. The bran in the whole grain cuts the gluten strands. You need to "bolt the flour" aka sift the bran out. Awesome video!!

In England the barns have big doors opposite each other so that thrashing can be done, winnowing too allowing the through draft to take the chaff . The wheat berries being heavier drop and the chaff blows away. To stop the berries being blown away at ground level, boards were slotted into the doors, they were called thrasholds which became in common usage threshold .

Fresh milled flour is awesome for pancakes! also, sift off some of the germ and bran. It will lighten it quite a bit. Save the germ and bran that you sifted in the freezer to add to recipes for Irish brown soda bread and dusting the outside of your bread loaves. Whole wheat flour with all the germ and bran still in it will go bad faster so in future I recommend milling it as you need it. The wheat berries will stay fresh for a lot longer in their berry form. Milling releases the oils in the germ and bran and the oils go rancid. That's why whole wheat flour has less of a shelf life than white flour. Thanks for all of your amazing content Laura. I don't know what I would do without you.

Everybody needs a “Paul and Bethany”. What a blessing to have such beautiful people in your life. ❤️

In the bible they had to rely on the wind to separate the chaff from the wheat. Great illustration! Matthew 3:12 He is ready to separate the chaff from the wheat with his winnowing fork. Then he will clean up the threshing area, gathering the wheat into his barn but burning the chaff with never-ending fire.”

Hands down coolest things I’ve seen on YT today.

Some of Laura’s talents I am aware of are: she does calligraphy, drives forklifts, plays piano, she’s a great artist, cooks well, of course we know her as a plant expert and now she has learned to mill her own wheat.
What is next? ☺️
So versatile…I’m in awe.
Thank you for a really interesting video and continued blessings to y’all ✌🏼💓🙏🏼🌱

Our people who did it this way are all passed away now..this is truly good hard work....what pleasure to see you do this, unfortunately I can't eat any wheat anymore...way to go go girl !!!

[susanlutz]

So interesting...that's why people didn't waste food in the good ole days! Very labor intensive!!! Thanks for the demo!

[pbarbaree]

This was so cool. I can’t believe how much flour you got from your harvest. Impressive.

We all need a Paul and Bethany in our lives!!! They are the best.

[BlackSwampSurvivor]

I did the same thing when I was 30 (40 years ago!) Grew my own wheat, milled it by hand and made some bread. I learned a lot - one of them being never to do it again! So much work for a loaf of bread!

I worked at a seed cleaning place as a kid and the machine that cleaned the seed was 100 years old then. Amazing how they work.

[MikkiandAngel]

I am 100% impressed. It’s easy to grow but the harvest can be hard but it’s worth it. Excellent 🙏🏻🌺

Here in India, we usually buy wheat in bulk during the harvest season (around April here) and store it in aluminium grain bins for the whole year and most people have a flour mill at their home in which you can grind fresh flour. You can also set the mill depending upon if you want smooth or coarse flour.

Paul and Bethany are like having magic elves in your garden. They come behind you to clean and tidy, or weed, mulch, and water, etc. I know I’d love them in my garden. What a blessing they are. Great video.

This was so fun to watch !!! I believe we as a country need to turn back to the basics, the natural way of living. As we can see here with you Laura, your life, meaning your light force, is abundant because you are close to nature every day and you are doing WHOLESOME, PURE things that provide for your family. We all need to know we can take care of ourselves instead of relying on others and your videos are PROVING IT CAN BE DONE AND ALSO CAN BE FUN !!!! WE NEED TO THRIVE, NOT JUST SURVIVE !!!! I think you are an Angel to all of us. You definitely are to me. Thank You for being a light in the middle of the storm. 💥🌾🌻😊🌻🌾💥
