Last year, same as every year, we got out there and hauled some barley! It’s incredibly tiring and relentless for about a week and then, it’s all over like nothing extraordinary ever happened. The fields look like baren wastelands compared to the bounty it just held. The barley is cut, carried, stacked, and dried. Then, it’s shaken, roasted and milled for barley flour; a main traditional staple. The community time together, is priceless.
I love it! I can smell it and feel the stickery barley! I was terrible at harvesting, but it looks like you guys really have it down. So Awesome.
Wow! Jada can carry an impressive load 🙂
