Finding grain varieties that improve soil and water
Warthog Wheat, Danko Rye, and Endeavor Barley are varieties that have been the backbone of Valley Malt and many award winning beers. They not only grow well but they have excellent flavor and malt quality.
Farms like Oechsner and Morrill Farms continue to keep growing these Northeast proven winners and we keep malting them but we all work together to trial new varieties such as Lightning Barley and Harrus Heirloom White Wheat.
Sourcing 100% of our grain from local farms
Finding excellent winter and spring varieties to grow and malt that serve as rotational crops on farms is critical to the viability of the diversified family farms we work with in the Northeast. Cover crops, like wheat, barley and rye improve the soil and keep water sources healthier. They also provide long term, stable markets to farms so they can keep growing!
100% renewable hydroelectric power
The city of Holyoke is a post-industrial city, working to maintain renewable energy power into the next century. Valley Malt is primarily powered by a river run and canal hydroelectric system. Our building is on a canal with a hydro turbine passing through it.
100% reusable or compostable packaging
The overuse of single-use plastics are posing risks to our water and environment and since paper packaging was historically used for malts, we’ve decided to make a commitment to only use 100% reusable or compostable packaging. We hope this shared value of reducing plastics and waste is another reason to choose our malts.
90% reduction in malt miles traveled
We get it, malts from Europe are popular and have commanded special esteem for generations...but what will our next climate-conscious generation of customers think?Local malt can deliver flavor and quality while increasing freshness and reducing the carbon footprint of your malt.
