Collapse ▲Carolina Ground, L3C will be a new organic wheat market in NC, officially starting business in September 2011. This summer they will be doing production-level testing, and by the fall will be milling Carolina grown hard wheat, soft wheat, rye, and other small grains. Carolina Ground a baker’s owned micro mill, with top projection of no more than 350 tons of flour per year, located in Asheville. With a 48” -diameter stone mill and sifter they will be producing both whole grain and sifted flour. Carolina Ground is the product of Carolina Farm Stewardship Association’s North Carolina Organic Bread Flour Project, which has sought to lay the groundwork for a viable organic grains economy in the Carolinas.
Riverbend Malt House is a malt house located in Asheville, NC that will provide malted grains for the craft brewing market. Riverbend Malt House is redefining what it means to produce truly local beer in the southeast by providing high-quality malt from locally grown sources. By working with local farmers and researchers we can develop a high quality, sustainable product while offering a premium price to the farmer for his effort. Artisan beer should begin with an artisan malt.
The development of a local food system for malted grain will support agricultural production in North Carolina while dramatically reducing the carbon footprint associated with the shipping of raw materials needed for beer production. At the present time, a vast majority of the malt used in breweries throughout the southeast is shipped from the western United States or Europe. These practices rely heavily on fossil fuels and generate thousands of pounds of carbon emissions. Riverbend Malt House plans to sell its products within a 300 mile radius of Asheville in an effort to reduce these costs to the consumer and the ultimately the planet. During the early stages of business operations, RMH will offer 2-3 types of malted 6-row barley, malted wheat, and malted rye.
