Thynopirium intermedium is what Rodale started out with in the development of "Kernza" Some of the perennial ryes I think are for a bit colder climate. I like Great Basin Seeds they might have a suggestion for your zone .

I can harvest and clean enough grain in an hour to feed myself for a week. I love subsistence farming. Makes my heart sing.

I harvest by hand, with secateurs, sickle, or knife. Throw seed heads onto a tarp. Thresh by stamping with feet, or beating with a stick. Screen. Winnow.
Same technique which built civilization.
