We started this Hop Farm in 2017. It takes a few years for hops to fully mature and produce a solid yield. These are pictures from breaking the ground to our first harvest.  Since 2017 the hops have only grown stronger! 

Thanks for all the help Larry, John and Brett!  Also, thank you John for helping with the yearly maintenance and use of your land!

 
We used trees from our front yard for the 20ft Trellis.
