![]() We also are happy to have partnerships in place with Crosby Hop Farm in Oregon and Roy Farms in Washington state. We’re super happy to be working with these excellent growers. In 2021, BC Hop Farms, B&D Farms and Sodbuster Farms all began growing Strata fields for us as well. We started working with F&B Farms in 2018 and Fobert Farms in 2019. We coordinate propagation and start with virus-free plants from cell cultures maintained in a lab to ensure healthy fields. In 2018, we could tell that market demand for Strata would increase, so we began broadening our grower relationships to expand acreage. They grow beautiful hops and have been more than we could ask for in farm partners! We work closely with them to navigate the hop market and to ensure optimum character development and harvest timing for every variety that we supply. And when we reached the exciting point of launching our own hop varieties into the market, it was with these farm partners that we planted the first commercial acreage.Ĭoleman Agriculture and Goschie Farms have been our primary growers since our humble beginnings, and remain so today. When our hop development efforts reached a point that required commercial testing grounds, we established advanced nurseries on these farms. As our business grew, so did the number of acres that we planted with each farm. We started by contracting small fields of multiple public varieties with these growers. Both had a rich history of growing hops and were open to the idea of targeting the craft market. ![]() It is on farms and ranches that hop plants grow each year, loading the oils and acids into dangling hops that balance malty sweetness and add the hop flavors and aromas people love in beer.Įarly in the process of setting up shop, we were fortunate to meet two exceptional growers–Gayle Goschie of Goschie Farms and John Coleman of Coleman Agriculture.
