I suspect you are right. truth is not a lot of farms grow buckwheat anymore. the us supposedly used to grow a million acres of it...now it's less than 50,000. That isn't a lot of buckwheat, but the N-E has usually been the ones growing it, I think. MI is I think the #3 producer at this time in the US.

Buckwheat may be an aquired taste on toast or in your tea, but it is KILLER in barbeque sauce.  Just sayin...
