So beautiful. I read Latour’s book recently, too, but am of course most struck by the tangles of thoughts on wheat, commodification, and food, which are thoughts I find myself wrapped up in all the time. (And, similarly to you, I use a combination of Wheat Montana’s plain white flour—my King Arthur equivalent—and more organic, heirloom grains milled at Montana Flour & Grain, I think in Fort Benton.)
We lived 10 miles north of Virginia MN from 1982 through 1988 and enjoyed canoeing near our home and in the Boundary Waters. Unfortunately, I worked 100+ hour weeks most of the summers, so our time outside was limited.

I cannot adequately express to you how struck I was by this essay. I am so fortunate to have stumbled upon it. Many thanks.

I love these words! So glad to have discovered you via Notes.
