Harvest Progress Report 🌾
With the Winter Barley and Oilseed Rape now safely stored, our focus shifts to the next crop: Milling Rye.
For over 35 years, Rougham Estate has been cultivating Milling Rye, primarily for Ryvita. This crop thrives in our light, sandy soils, demonstrating its resilience during the dry spells common to East Anglia.
Once harvested, the grain makes its journey to Poole, where it undergoes milling and is transformed into the Ryvita crispbreads found on supermarket shelves. Impressively, our goal this harvest is to produce enough Rye to create a staggering 85.5 million crispbreads!
