Salute to Agriculture and our Agricultural Heritage Series - Wheat

As part of Omahaculturefest.org's mission celebrating our Midwestern American Heritage and the triumph of agriculture, this page describes our ties with agriculture, and particularly to all things wheat.

A Celebration of Life and All Things Wheat

What better symbol of goodwill; what better sign of peace and prosperity recognized around the world than a loaf of fresh homemade bread. Making homemade bread has nearly become a lost art; however, interest is reemerging. Fresh bread is great for holidays, dinner parties, pot lucks, and special occasions. Whether at home or by patronizing local bakeries, you can reconnect with our pioneer heritage, and celebrate our local bounty of the Great Plains. To appeciate bread and breadmaking, you should take a little time and explore some wheat lore.

Share with your friends and children the art and joy of healthy breadmaking, and make bread.
