Field Trip~Great Harvest Bread

A few days ago we went on a field trip with our local homeschool group, and visited a bakery in Albuquerque. We had a great time and came home with some heavily grained, delicious bread, as well as flavored whipped honeys, a bag of freshly ground whole wheat flour, and freshly made granola. Yummy!

We all learned so much about the history of bread, the grains that are grown and how they are processed, and how bread is made.
Then we all got to make our own whole wheat breadsticks, even the parents, too.
Jeremiah's such a sweetie. He made this adorable heart.
Behind our table was the big revolving oven with bread continually being cycled into and out of it. The heat was a bit uncomfortable inside, but the aromas were incredible!

Then our breadsticks were on their way into the oven.
While our breadsticks were baking, we got to touch and taste whole wheat kernels, and freshly ground whole wheat flour.
