Our goal is to locally grow hops and malt barley, wheat, and spelt for mini, micro, and home brewers in Ohio.  

Barley 31 Malting Co. originally received brain wave activity in 2011 when Scott wondered if the breweries in Columbus would be interested in buying barley from us as farmers.  So the research began and Tenah found out that you have to malt the barley for brewing purposes.  Most of you as brewers are thinking duh, but again we are farmers not brewers!  We have looked over videos, talked to numerous people in the industry, and read a lot of research material.  For us the complication has been battling the fusarium fungus that grows, predominately, in the  2 row barley seed.  For the most part Ohio only grows 6 row, which is more resistant to the fusarium fungus.  Then the kilning process is another biggie.  Additionally, we have a modest three row hop yard with bittering hops, alpha and super alpha aroma hops.

In addition to the hops and barley we have a food truck that utilizes our farm products as well as other local ingredients. For more information on the catering or our food truck please visit the Food Truck tab!
