    Sounds like a cool family run farm and malting business:

    “Despite the endless calls they get asking for veterinary services and rabbits for sale, Rabbit Hill Malt only sells malt— and some sod too. The family farm and malting company in Shiloh, New Jersey was formerly located on Rabbit Hill Road an hour and a half north. “My grandfather lived there before he had to move the farm due to development issues,” says the malthouse co-founder Hillary Barile. She and her brother Blair Bakker launched Rabbit Hill Malt in 2015, with a name that nodded to the farm’s first location.”

    It appears to be modest in size so I have no idea how much (i.e., volume in pounds or bushels) malt they produce:

    “The Bariles and Bakkers, fifth-generation farmers, are still an entirely family-run operation. They even hand-deliver malt bags to their customers. They’re committed to staying independent as they expand, and to continuing floor malting as volume increases. A new kiln will allow for even more products in the portfolio going forward.”

    But they appear to have a variety of product:

    “Rabbit Hill Malt is making a difference in beers and spirits across New Jersey with a wide spectrum of varieties including Farmhouse Pilsner, a 2 and 6 Row Barley, Wheat Malt, Rye Malt, Oat malt, Spelt Malt, Barley Chit malt, Pale Ale malt, and Light Munich.”

    I wonder how much of their product is sold to breweries vs. distilleries?

    Cheers!
