We have started taking orders for 2020 fresh hops. Contact Terry at terry@thehopyard.com for pricing and ordering information.
Harvest Timing
Fresh hops undergo no processing so they must be utilized promptly after harvest. We work closely with brewers to coordinate harvest and pickup and ensure they are provided with the freshest possible hop. Harvest timing is based on growing conditions and variety. We work to communicate anticipated harvest dates throughout the year, but historical numbers have us harvesting most varieties between 8/26 – 9/20.
Pickup At The Farm
We require brewers to coordinate pickup at our Gorham farm during harvest time. This will get you the freshest possible hops and avoid the overnight shipping charge that would otherwise be incurred, while also simplifying our logistics during our busiest time of the year. In the future we will look to offer overnight shipping as well, but we are not able to offer that at this time.
