“Doing the Puyallup!” — Palouse Heritage at the WA State Fair
Join us for our review of the Washington State Fair. Our co-founder Richard Scheuerman, PH team member Leigh Anna Bernard, and baker Bert Timmerman attended the event, with Richard and Bert even doing a presentation! We had a great time at the event and can’t wait to tell you all about it.
“Wheat Amidst the Tulips” — Richard’s Reflections on the 2026 WSU Breadlab Grain Gathering
This year’s Grain Gathering took place July 19-21 and featured another sell-out crowd with outstanding presenters organized through the capable leadership of our longtime friends Breadlab director Dr. Kevin Murphy, administrative manager Kim Binczewski, and outreach manager Janine Sanguine. The event is also a kind of reunion of special folks whose friendship and expertise has greatly benefited our Palouse Heritage endeavors through the years. Dr. Jones and crop scientist Steve Lyon were the first persons we reached out to long ago to help us start propagating the historic and nutritionally-dense heritage grains that continue to be the mainstay of our work.
