Red Fife wheat is a pioneer for helping people put value onto heritage varieties of food crops in Canada. Varieties will be conserved if they can be sold and have value for the farmer. The revival of Red Fife in the Canadian food scene is helping bring variety and farmer identification to food crops.
The Heritage Wheat Project is the main networking group for heritage wheat in Canada.

Oh dear.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
