Rhubarb Bread- A Recipe from a Local Farmer!

Last week, I visited a local farmer who had asparagus and rhubarb.  When I bought the rhubarb, I told them I never cooked with it before and needed some tips.  The farmer’s wife, gave me this recipe.  It is absolutely amazing.  I did add the chia and flax seed to it but everything else is from their family.  This recipe combines the perfect combination of sweet and tart.  It is officially my favorite vegetable or fruit bread.
