It started when I attended a one week course by John Jeavons, Director of the GROW BIOINTENSIVE Mini-Farming program for Ecology Action since 1972. He is the author of How to Grow More Vegetables and Fruits, Nuts, Berries, Grains, and Other Crops Than You Ever Thought Possible On Less Land Than You Can Imagine http://www.johnjeavons.info/
He encouraged us to grow our own compost/calorie crops, so I decided to grow a 7m2 bed of wheat and see if I could make some wholewheat bread.
Standing behind the 7m2 of growing wheat. Wheat was harvested and dried in the sun for 2 weeks.

I threshed the wheat in a wooden box by moving my feet in dance motion. The wheat comes off when it encounters the 2mm thick, 50mm apart wooden strips.
Winnowing the wheat to remove the unwanted bits, using a desk fan. It yielded 1.8kg of clean wheat.
Using a Fidibus electric stone grinder, I baked 3 small sourdough loaves, in my solar oven.
