CRAFTING MALT THAT

PROTECTS THE LAND AND THE

SPECIES WHO DEPEND ON IT

Cranes ’ Landing is no ordinary farm .

The site protects nearly 400 acres of

habitat for endangered Sandhill cranes ,

and every decision , including how

and when we plant , is based on their

needs . Barley is grown and harvested only

when the cranes have migrated and , after

harvest , f ields are intentionally left open for

the birds to forage as they return .

This collaboration is a benchmark

for sustainability as crop revenue is

reinvested directly into land stewardship

to support native tree and shrub planting ,

prairie restoration , thoughtful crop rotation

and a preference for lower - water - use

crops . Each of these practices strengthens

soil health , protects habitats and preserves

the region ’ s natural beauty .

In Washington State , our team

partnered with Columbia Land Trust

to create a truly local , limited - release

malt : Pure Washington , made from

barley grown on the conservation

lands of Cranes ’ Landing .
