Small Hops and Veggie Farm
Small Hops and Veggie Farm
The little hops farm continues to grow and learn! Evey year is different, but some things are the same. Since starting the farm in 2017, we have learned a lot, but I think this year was the best for one reason, or actually two. I am a competitive person, just ask my wife and kids! […]
What a year and it all started this spring or lack of spring! Winter lasted so long and the frost stayed in the ground longer than usual. The hops and gardens didn’t sprout as they usually do. Everything appeared to be 1-2 weeks behind. All year long the hops looked off, from sprouting late, […]
To be honest it was a year to remember, and one to forget! It was the warmest summer in YEARS!! Dry as well…..that’s an understatement, and we were busy as ever! The hops were the best we have had since starting the farm! We had help from many close friends and family…..and gained a few […]
What a year! We had such high hopes going into our third year of growing hops. Not sure what happened to the plants this last spring, but we had lots of winter kill. I suspect that the wet spring had something to do with it. Hops love water, but they don’t want to be sitting […]
We would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! We had a wonderful year on the farm. We had our first beer Brewed at Rapids Brewing, the “Hoky”! We look forward to many more beers and years growing! Happy brewing the Pierces!
It has been a journey since 2016! From a dream/ idea to a reality in 2019. My wife calls me the dreamer, and for good reason! When the idea was brought up to start a Hops Farm it went over much better than most others. In 2017, we established the hops yard, no plants, but […]
We are in the thick of picking veggies and enjoying all the fresh produce! We have enjoyed selling our produce to all those veggie lovers! We are “hopping” into our 2nd season of growth with the HOPS plants. We will have a limited number of HOPS this year, but hope to use some of the […]
I would like to thank friends, family, and new acquaintances for the support of our little farm! It sure can be a lot of work but the end produce is so rewarding! We find so much joy in knowing we are selling the best products we can, without any chemicals! We’re not a certified organic […]
The last year and a half sure has gone fast. We went from and idea and research for 8 months to starting CR Hops Farm in January of 2017! I was finally able to convince the boss one of my ideas was a good one. (Thank you Rachel) It all started when my wonderful mother […]
All the hard work is starting to pay off. We have been busy picking peas, beans, and raspberries. They are slowing down a bit now and many more items are nearing harvest time. The hops plants are growing well for first year plants, they range in a few feet tall to nearing 18 ft. It […]
