Hop Farms

Hop farms are specialized agricultural areas where hop plants are cultivated, primarily for brewing beer. These farms grow clusters of hop vines on trellises, providing the flowers called hops, which give beer its distinct bitterness, aroma, and flavor. Hop farms require careful management of climbing systems, watering, and harvesting during the late summer and fall. Located in regions with suitable climates, hop farming supports the brewing industry by providing the raw ingredients needed for beer production, and the farms often serve as both production sites and educational or agritourism locations.
