Meet Your Farmers

A 3rd Generation Maine Family Farm raising the Bar(ley)🌾

Hi, we are the Bucks! Ten years ago, we realized the potential to produce grains for the pints and pantries of our fellow Mainers rather than industrial markets. Now serving New England and beyond, we are four brothers alongside our parents on a mission to cultivate the best quality grains and malts for you. We're not just growing grains; we're raising the bar for quality and flavor with every lot of grain and malt.

Ethically grown, meticulously handled and shipped direct from our farm to you.

Jason Perkins

Allagash Brewing Co

"We have worked with Maine Malt House and the Buck Family Farm for nearly a decade. Throughout our time working together, the team at MMH have been an absolute pleasure to work with. Their honest, hard-working and innovative approaches have led to them producing some of the best Malt and raw grains available anywhere. We are so happy to be able to access these grains: grown and processed right here in the State of Maine."

Noah Bissell

Bissell Brothers Brewing

"Working with the Buck family has been nothing but a pleasure; their malt has become a deep part of both the house flavor of our beers and the story of our brewery. Malt quality, consistency, and communication are unparalleled, and the desire to constantly improve their product and business operation is inspiring. MMH has also worked with us on multiple occasions to develop malt blends that have entirely replaced our usage of certain UK and European varietals, creating huge cost savings."

Tanner Rubin

Bread & Friends

"We love working with Maine Malt House! We mill their grain on a daily basis in our bakery and that fresh milled flour makes it into almost every bread and pastry that we make at Bread and Friends. We strive to work with local Maine farms and working with Maine Malt House and their wonderful grain has allowed us to support the Maine grain economy and build a working relationship with some wonderful folks!"

John Sorgini

The exceptional freshness and quality of their grain is only matched by the quality of service they have always demonstrated. The honesty, integrity, creativity and personal attention they display illustrates their passion for quality and makes them a trusted partner. We are proud to support the New England farming community and our friends at Maine Malt House for our spirits."

A Malt House With Deep Roots

Our story starts on a farm in a small town in Northern Maine. In 1958, Jack Buck planted his first crop of potatoes on a 40 acre plot of rented land in Mapleton, Maine (now known as the Home Farm). He was on his way to achieving his dream of becoming a farmer. Eight years later Jack Buck Jr. and his wife Maryanne bought the 40 acres, a rundown farmhouse, and the attached barn for $15,000.

Jack's father, Jack Sr., ended his construction career to help his son on the land. Jack Jr. and Maryanne raised four children in their farm house and while Maryanne also contributed countless hours to the farm alongside her husband to make their dream work. Their three sons - Bruce , Brent, and Barry - followed in their father's footsteps and joined the farm after completing college. Their daughter, Kim, married a farmer and moved a few towns over.
