Organic Buckwheat
Did you know that the dark, earthy flavoured honey made from the pollen of buckwheat flowers is especially rich in antioxidants, making it a health powerhouse? It was more mundane reasons that attracted Glenn Coleman to this white-flowered crop as he transitioned to organic farming in the early 2000s. Buckwheat became his go-to crop for weed control and soil fertility. He uses it as both a cover crop and a cash crop at the same time.
