Has anybody here tried growing free range wheat? If so, what were your
experiences?


Free range as opposed to caged?

As for growing wheat, you need a lot of acreage to get a bag of flour.
And the processing is more complicated than with, say, maize.

Then there are ornamental wheats:

I don't know, why wheat?


Be careful. If your wheat gets infected with ergot you could get busted
for growing LSD. Otherwise it is an heirloom from Asia Minor.
