This ancient grain has been traced back to early Mesopotamia and is packed with nutrients, nutty flavor, and a chewy texture. Cook in Silver Fork Hard Cider for all the aromatics and yummy flavors to infuse the farro grain. Delicious and nourishing, this winter salad is sure to fill the bellies of a hungry crowd. Pair with mineral and herbaceous white wine, like older vintage Vermentino, white Rhones, or Silver Fork Hard Cider.
