Ace Hardware, 60lbs for $10. That's better than fairly cheap.

I purchase my hard wheat from a small feed mill. Check google for feed mills in your area and give a few a call. Most can get hard wheat, different types of bran etc.
As for the address for the oakville/toronto whole foods:

The bulk barn is a good easy place to get wheat kernels fast for your first try, but past that you would be better off to find a feed mill.

* Bulk Barn variety of "Wheat Berries", aka "Wheat Kernels" -item #1544 at your local Bulk Barn
Hard Wheat Kernels - $2.40 / KG $1.09 / LB 25KG bag = $60 + 10% off for buying sealed bag = $54
I can get the same 25KG for $27 CDN no tax at the feed mill which works out to roughly .49 cents per lb.

Gosh, the other side of town. I'm leaving at 3 A.M. to drive to Seattle and back tomorrow for supplies. That's a 750 mile round trip. Not that I'd trade my cabin and farm in the wilderness for any other place on Earth, but it's just funny to hear people talking about having to drive 'clear across town' for grains, when the nearest town big enough to even have a traffic signal is a three hour drive from here, with a population of 'only' 5,000.
In the 100 square miles around our cabin, there's only 9 people, and that includes the Mrs and I.  RR

I would trade it all in for a piece of land like yours RR. I have some family that own a boat in cottage on a secluded lake and I must say being up in the deep woods hours away from civilization is a feeling I enjoy. One day I hope to own my own property away from the cities.
Just out of curiosity what are you pay for gas out your way these days?

About $1.10/liter, but I have to get it at the last 'town' I pass through, 40 miles away. That's the nearest gas station. RR

It is around $1.32/L here at the moment in Ontario, sometimes higher sometimes lower. In my old car it would cost me $25-30 just to get to a whole foods store yet alone buy the actual grain.
I bet with the closest gas station being 40 miles from home, and a round trip into town being 750 miles planning ahead is key lol.

Is there a substitute to rye seeds that would be easyier to find, and if possible it would be nice if anyone knew where to get them. I know the tek for using rye seed, so it would be best if there was little or no differents between the tek I'll have to use with the substitute you might suggest. I'm completly ready to start my first (non- rice cake) batch but I can't find a substrate to colonize with. just some extra info- It's being grown indores, so nothing stinky like manure and its gonna be a VERY large batch (approx 50-100 jars)
Bulk Barn dude they have tons assuming you have Bulk Barn in Ontario they do here and out west
