Barley offer offers vast benefits for you and your soil!
Barley can be interplanted with winter beans, clovers or field peas for a great nitrogen fixation in addition to biomass and organic matter building. “Robust” is a six-row barley variety that’s also ideal for a wide variety of food purposes, including pearling, malting and as an animal feed.
Barley (Hordeum vulgare) is a nutrient rich grain with a variety of uses. Barley's history reaches back thousands of years throughout Europe, the Middle East, and parts of Asia. It is still one of the top five most commonly grown grains in the world. It is an annual grain that performs well in a wider range of climates than oat, rye, or wheats. It can be used as a year-round cover crop in temperate climates and has modest drought and salt tolerance.
Barley can be planted in rows in early spring once soil is workable and will grow to be 2-3 feet tall. It is best to plant early to ensure harvest prior to freezing temperatures as the plants take at least 90 days from seed to harvest. Barley can be planted in the fall for a spring harvest in warmer regions. The barley plant thrives in full sun and well-drained soil and seeds require direct contact with the soil for germination.
We’ve maintained our own seed line for a better part of the last decade, and this has resulted in improved germination rates of the plant versus wildcrafted seed. This makes sourcing seed from our company an easy ethical choice.
