Hanging Rock Hay and Grain

02/24/2023

As the Hannibal from the A-Team would say ‘I love it when a plan comes together!’
The Lovettsville Market Co-Op annual meeting and chili cook off was last night and things are gettin’ real with the store slated to open in just a few months. Hopefully you’ll be seeing some Hanging Rock Hay & Grain products on the shelf opening day!

PS, if you aren’t a co-op member yet, get over to www.Lovettsville-grocery.com and get in while you can still get to be a founding member when the store opens!

Another fine potential use of Hanging Rock Hay & Grain flour!

We can’t imagine celebrating without wheat farmers! Virginia farmers harvested 10.2 million bushels of winter wheat during the summer of 2022, up 27% from 2021.

12/23/2022

All the stores are fully stocked (hard wheat flour, soft wheat flour and oats) for any last minute holiday baking needs!
Here’s wishing all the Hanging Rock Hay & Grain friends and customers out there a happy and warm Christmas, Hanukkah, and New Years!

Hot cocoa? Apple Cider doughnuts? Pumpkin spice...things? I mean, those are all nice, but what says autumn more than photogenic delivery of poultry manure! Lime and manure applied, fields prepped and wheat is in the ground! Today's Halloween rain should hopefully get next year's harvest growing which includes three different varieties of wheat (hard red, soft red, and hard white).

A busy farming week! Hard red wheat flour picked up from Colvin Run (watch for it at Georges Mill Farm Store soon!). And a chunk of second cutting hay.

09/26/2022

The sun is shining…so you know the saying! Let me know your hay needs. Plenty in the barn and more to be baled this week!

Some soft red wheat headed down to Nelson county! Thanks to Deep Roots Milling for being an awesome and regular customer. Deep Roots uses Hanging Rock grain in a few of its flours and pancake mix during various times during the year.

One of the most dusty, hot miserable days of the farming season is nearly upon us...grain cleaning day! This also means that this year's Soft Red Wheat, Hard Red Wheat, and Hulless Oats will soon be ready for sale. Watch this space for availability and pricing coming soon!

It's definitely hay season! A small delivery tonight but plenty more where that came from!

Prepping for this year's oats planting!

Great to visit Wadsons Mill and Deep Roots Milling down in Nelson County earlier this week for the Common Grain Alliance meeting! A great soils demo, a tour of the mill, and some good chats with fellow farmers, millers, bakers, and maltsters! If you're interested in supporting a group thats looking to rebuild a regional grain economy here in the Mid-Atlantic, CGA is where its at! https://www.facebook.com/commongrainalliance

Last hay of the season delivered this past week (with a hopefully satisfied customer looking on!). Still have a small amount of straw for your veggie mulching, stall bedding, and decorating needs. Also plenty of wheat still available for milling and brewing!

10/24/2021

Most of this fall's wheat (hard and soft) is in the ground, and the last of the hay is baled. Of course...a few late season repairs had to rear their heads too...tire, bearings, belts...

Exciting day in Lovettsville yesterday for the Co-op Market groundbreaking. The real countdown begins now with construction slated to start next month. Thanks to everyone who came by and bought flour, rolled outs, and wheat berries!

Thanks to another day with Trent from Three Monkeys Farm and all of this year's wheat and oats are ready to go! Suffice to say that I have plenty of grain available for your milling, baking, brewing a malting needs. Currently grain is bagged in 50-60 lbs. sacks or 1 ton super sacks. Oats are $1.00 per lbs, and wheat .75 per lbs. in the smaller bags. Larger super sacks are priced based on quantity. These are unmilled (not rolled or ground).

Very excited to share that Hanging Rock Hay and Grain Soft Red Wheat is an ingredient in the Loudoun Grown Farmhouse Ale from Wheatland Spring Brewery! Along with Wheatland Spring's own grain and collaboration with Dirt Farm Brewing in Bluemont, the brew includes hops from Fabbioli Cellars, and grain from Three Monkeys Farm...a great crew to be part of! Its great to be part of putting Loudoun grown ingredients in locally made products...so head on over to Wheatland Spring and Dirt Farm and buy yourself one...or..two...or pick your favorite number to take home!

Wheat harvest has begun! Soft Red Winter wheat in addition to being great for pastry flour, also works for brewing, so if you're in need ingredients for your home or commercial brewing operation, drop a line. Straw also will be available from this crop.

So its not ALWAYS about hay, wheat, and oats...
Sometimes its time to team up with some of the Lovettsville farming crew up at Georges Mill Farm to plant some mulberry trees for some future silvopasture! And no, I didn't toss Eliza or Molly off the planter once!

03/17/2021

Supplies are EXTREMELY limited while I work on more efficient production method (wait for the larger mill I have ordered to arrive), but word on the street is Hanging Rock Hay & Grain Rolled Oats are available at Georges Mill Farm Store. Of course all the regular locations are stocked up with flour!

02/21/2021

Its been awhile, so some updates! All of the usual locations should be stocked with Fine and Coarse flour with Spring House Farm Store and Georges Mill just getting a "refuel." Also, proud to announce Hanging Rock Hay & Grain is now in downtown Leesburg at the Very Virginia shop!

Finally, if all goes to plan (and the new roller mill arrives!), rolled oats should be available next month. Oatmeal for breakfast, oatmeal raisin cookies, granola...all those things!

12/30/2020

Just a reminder for any New Years baking resolutions...Hanging Rock Hay & Grain flour is in stock at all its usual locations! Finish out a crummy year with some cookies...or some pumpkin bread...or some New Years morning pancakes!
Thanks to Georges Mill Farm Store, Spring House Farm Store, Mom's Apple Pie at Hill High, Round Hill Grocery, Dinner Belles Kitchen Cupboard, and Paige's Pit Stop for keeping it on the shelf!

For my Hay customers, the barn is empty and I'm sold out for the winter, but don't forget to check back in late May and early June for first cutting. Until then stay safe and stay healthy!

The first of this year's grain has been milled and picked up from Colvin Run Mill. I'll be bagging this week and stores will be restocked soon with both Fine and Coarse ground varieties. Straw is also available from this year's crop for your fall decorating needs, and of course first and second cutting hay are also still available!.

2020 Wheat Cleaning

It was a busy day yesterday with Trent from Three Monkeys Farm cleaning this year's wheat and oats. If sunburn and sore muscles are a sign of a successful job, this one must have done well!

06/29/2020

The goats of Georges Mill Farm tell me the wheat is allllmost ready to harvest. Ok, maybe it was my moisture tester, but they look smart, so they probably already knew.

06/09/2020

Lots of first cutting on the ground! Being baled the next couple of days. $4.00/bale from the wagon in the field!

06/05/2020

Wheat, hay and oats all coming along nicely! First cutting now available!
