barley .The climate is characterised by sea frets – early morning mists rolling off the sea and lengthening
the time of the ripening barley.

a low nitrate which is important for barley that will be used for making ale . Ale malts need a low
amount of nitrogen – between 1.4% and 1.6 % and North Norfolk barley is also perfect for ale making
barley.
