About this user

In 1980 as a homebrewer I visited the USDA Hop Research Farm in Corvallis, OR. I was looking for some hop plants so I could try growing my own vines. Besides acquiring some hop rhizomes, I was given some fluorescent green hop flowers, unlike any hops I'd ever seen before. Those hops inspired me to provide real hops to other fellow home brewers.

Since that time, I have worked on the same USDA farm as well as a 1000-acre hop farm. I now grow a small quantity of hops and supplement the demand with the best hops available.
Every September after harvest, I rendezvous with various microbrewers in Yakima, WA. Here we are given the opportunity to select the cream of the crop, even before the big mega breweries get their hands on them. From there they go into cold storage until orders are prepared. I feel confident that we offer the best hops grown in America.
