History of Red Fife
One of the oldest ancient grain varieties, first grown in Canada back in 1842 at Dave Fifes’ farm in Peterborough. Legend states that a load of wheat grown in Ukraine was on a ship in Glasgow, a friend of Dave dropped his hat into the red wheat, collecting a few seeds which he then shipped off to Dave. the wheat proliferated. The family cow managed to eat all the wheat heads except for a few, which Mrs. Fife saved; this was the beginning of Red Fife wheat in Canada.
