As a seasonal offer, you can arrange a private tour with us during the harvest season, where we will guide you through the entire process of hops from the field to the drying room, with expert commentary. Or are you a brewery wanting to come and hand-pick fresh hop cones for brewing? With us, it's not a problem.
