This is a tough one because growing grains for home use is pretty hard to do. You need a LOT of land and it’s a LOT of work. You need good equipment, too. It’s not like you can hand-seed an acre of wheat or oats yourself.
If you can buy organic grains locally, that’s the thing to do. Or if you have Amish near you, you could probably get some quality grains through them. Otherwise learn to eat grain-free/gluten-free.

On a grain-free diet, you can eat:
Nuts
Fruit
Vegetables, both leafy greens and starchy alike except corn
Meat
Fish and seafood
Dairy
Eggs
Legumes
Seeds
Sugar
Here are the foods you should avoid while following a grain-free diet. Essentially anything that contains gluten or grains is a no-go unless the package clearly indicates it’s grain-free.
Cereal and granola
Bread
Quinoa
Pasta
Rice
Corn
Oatmeal
Crackers and pretzels
Sorghum syrup
Pancakes and pastries
Any food product that contains flour or the grains specified here and above should be eliminated.
I am a pretzel addict, so I’m pretty much a goner. I have accepted my fate. ;)
thx for the response. good to know. i use Irish (mccann’s) steel cut oats myself and try to bake my own bread. but of course you still have to buy the flour. seems to work for us.
but too the article: have you used or know anything about this chemical supposedly being used on all grains by American Big Ag, Chlormequa? the article says it’s used to aid in harvest. does it make the grass more stiff or something?
