It is a mystery

Seed isn't expensive, it's just that there's not many places to get it. I've got five or so that I can name off the top of my head that sell named varieties instead of just generic flax that may or may not be fiber. That's so few!

The other thing is that the fiber flax varieties are going to have different properties than the ones bred for flaxseed, so they might not be as high in nutritional value. I know for sure that they are a little smaller and the plants produce a lot less.

lol I was surprised when you said there was one near you. Maybe I can make the trek south, Lancaster is only ~2 hours from my parents.

Let's wait on the plans, the book might have some ideas on that although I don't know!
