Heirloom Wheat Barley Oats & Rye

The grains on this page are planted in spring for summer harvest, or in fall for harvest in early summer. They require some cool weather in their growth cycle. Most of them are usually ground into flour, and contain some gluten for easy baking. All of them are also good for hot cereal, pilaf, soups, grain salads like tabbouleh, etc. Oats are gluten-free.

Hardiness: Oats freeze out at 10-15 degrees F. Barley at 5-10 degrees F. Wheat and Triticale at minus 20 F. Rye at minus 35 F. Snow cover or short duration of frost improve survival.
