Our roots run deep in Western New York. My great-grandfather established Hawley Farms in 1909. There are now 6 generations who’ve grown up on the farm (our 3 grandchildren are deep into exploring every nook and cranny).
My grandfather was a progressive farmer championing modern (for their time) practices. We think he’d be proud of how we have reimagined the farm into a modern day malthouse. But he’d likely never guess that the story of the farm would be on each and every one of our malt bags.
Stories are powerful. Stories link us to the land. Stories gave me (and my kids and grandkids) a strong sense of family, of identity, of honor and determination and the universal truth that nothing - nothing worthwhile - comes easy, without sacrifice.
Stories give our malt a Pride of place and that’s why you can read it on our bags. We love what we do, the connections we’ve made throughout the brewing and distilling communities. And most of all, we’ll continue to write the story of our farm.
