Marksboro Mills Update
Our future home at Marksboro Mills continues to make progress at a slow but steady pace. This former farm equipment repair shop on Route 94 in Warren County is the capstone of our vision to create a grain hub in northwestern New Jersey. The property is perfectly situated across from Ruthie’s Farm, where right now she’s growing 10 acres of Redeemer winter wheat that will be harvested in July. It doesn’t get any more local than that!
At Markboro Mills we started with the site: grading the site, putting in a parking lot, fixing stone walls and replacing the garage doors. We found a historic millstone and installed it at the entrance. Supply delays have slowed us down a bit, but we’re proud of what we have accomplished thanks to Ruthie and the amazing team working on this project. New windows have been installed, and we are preparing the space for our first health department inspection. Next up is polishing the inside, getting our name up on the building, and landscaping.
We can’t wait for Marksboro Mills to become our new home. Not only will we soon be able to offer you even more of the best heritage grains in the region, but we will also grow into this new space with educational opportunities and partnerships with local bakers. Stay tuned!
Many thanks to Maryellen Stadtlander for taking some of these photos.
