Hestia Rye Size:10 lbs

Hestia Rye Size:10 lbsThis Organic Rye is grown by the Regier family of Hestia Farms in Tiefengrund (between Laird and the historical Fort Carlton). Their home quarter is only 2 miles from our most northwest fields. When the Mennonites emigrated from Russia under threat of the Bolsehviks, they were looking for soil that could live up to the vast Steppes of the Ukraine and western Russia and found it here. This is Rye straight from God's country!

Midnight is what happens when you max out your kiln and walk away for a few hours

There is a beautiful note of dark fruit reminiscent of a dark red Bordeaux that we believe is accentuated by our extremely unique process

It is reminiscent of a heritage English floor malt with hints of bread crust and toffee bringing a slightly darker vibe
