Visitor Information

Learn about Growing and Harvesting Hops

Foothill Farms welcomes visitors throughout the year – to walk or work the fields. In April you will find us grubbing hop rhizomes and planting new hills. In May, look for the trellis to be strung and the foot high hop plants to be trained to the trellis strings. Rapid growth in June, July and August requires watering, weeding, thinning and maintenance as the hops reach heights of 20 feet or more. Harvest time comes in late August and early September. The hop bines are cut from the trellis and the blossoms are hand-picked and dried using methods very similar to those of the 19^th century. The leaf hops are then pressed, vacuum-sealed and frozen for freshness.

Our hop season is over now, but you are welcome to stop by for a visit. Our giftshop and homebrew shop are open. Throughout October we'll have pumpkins and soon, popcorn from our back garden.

Tour the Farm

Stop in the Hop Shop and ask for a tour. Check out the hop fields. Maybe meet Erin and Bandit, and baby boy Chinook, our pinto reindeer. That's right - Reindeer! Watch out behind you. Cascade (Cassie). Willamette (Whiskers) and Perle (Squirt) - our pygmy goats - may just give you a friendly nudge. Yes, they are named after hops! What did you expect? Out and about, you'll see Magic, our beautiful sorrel miniature horse, and Sally, the mini-donkey. And oh, that cute little gray critter is Dharha, our miniature zebu cow. New additions in September 2008 - Pinkie and Lyle, gorgeous Bolivian suri alpacas and a special November surpise - Pinkie gave birth to Floyd, a red male suri cria.
