>>1615826>is it possible to grow wheat for home consumption?Yup. Going from harvest to plate is quite a bit of work. In fact the phrase, "the daily grind," refers to the act of grinding wheat for the daily meals. Good quality grain mills are quite expensive($400-$1,200USD) and using only a mortar and pestle is like way way too much work even for 1 loaf of bread. You can DIY a millstone if you have access to the correct stone type and have the tools, time, and skill needed to work the stone (pic). The latter are really the most satisfying. Word of warning, if you get a millstone similar to the one in this webm, it must be this size or larger. The smaller stone millstones are just too small to work well for the amount of effort you put into the actual grinding process. The metal handcrank grain mills are usually just fine (like Country Living, Diamant, Lehman's, or Grainmaker brands,) but read reviews to know their quirks.
It is just cutting(sickle or scythe), threshing(threshing flail or machine), hulling(fuck that, only grow hull-less cultivars[Barley] or use a machine), and grinding(as mentioned above). Most mechanical things come in electric and manual crank versions.
Once you know what you are doing and have the proper tools to work the grain from harvest to plate you may find that it really isn't too difficult. It just sounds like tons of work and for the ill-prepared or unskilled it will be tons of work. With experience and the right tools it can be worth it.
