Hi Tweets,

With the Greater Sage-Grouse being in the news recently, it reminded me of a
local bakery that is doing great work to protect habitat for Greater Sage
and Sharp-tailed Grouse in Washington State. *Great Harvest Bread Company *
in* Lake Forest Park* buys socially and environmentally responsible wheat
directly from Wade Troutman, a wheat farmer near Bridgeport in Eastern
Washington. Wade sets aside 30 to 40% of his land to protect habitat for the
grouse.

The bakers at Great Harvest use only this wheat in a special loaf
called *"Wade's
Wheat"* ($5.50). They don't have it all the time but be sure to ask - they
always know when the next shipment is coming.

I am not frequently in the Lake Forest Park area so when I was driving
through today, I made sure to drop by and pick up a couple loaves to put in
the freezer.

To learn more about this relationship, please visit

BirdNote radio program, "Wade Troutman and the Sharp-tailed Grouse", please

*Of course, I have no vested interest in the success of Great Harvest Bread.
