Success Stories

Meet the people who are already succeeding in the Bay of Quinte Region. 

Barn Owl Malt

Devin and Leslie Huffman identified a missing link in the craft beer supply chain – there were no locally-grown grain options for malt. Located in Belleville, Barn Own Malt is situated near their grain suppliers in Bay of Quinte, Kingston, Ottawa, and Prince Edward County, and directly supplies craft brewers in Ontario with floor-processed traditional malt. The close proximity to suppliers and customers has allowed the Huffmans to build strong in-person business relationships that tie together the craft brewery supply chain.
