UK Winter Barley Update From The Roasted Malt Specialists

It's now mid-May, and our Winter Barley is really starting to show what it's made of ahead of being converted into roasted malt.

Just a few weeks ago, these fields were only green shoots, and now the ears of our crop have just emerged. After the driest April on record, the strong progress is a testament to the hard work and care that’s gone into nurturing this crop from our farming partners since it was sown last Autumn.

It’s in these last few months of growing where the crop really comes into its own, just like with our roasting process. You can almost get a sense of that last surge ahead that they about to pushing towards maturity. A truly exciting time of year for us at French & Jupps.

So, in just eight more weeks, these fields will have become a golden wash of stunning barley once again, as we bring in this year’s harvest for our roasted malts.

Stay tuned for more updates as we watch this Winter Barley continue its journey towards harvest.
