10 acres of organic/Biodynamic hops in the ground at Jack Rabbit Hill

Our horn manure has a woodsy smell and spongy texture. Our 5 horns, here uncovered in the future hopyard, can make enough "500" compost tea to apply on 22 acres of grapes and 10 acres of hops throughout the year.

We now have over 10,000 baby hop plants acclimating to their new home on the north slope of Jack Rabbit Hill. Varieties: Cascade, Chinook, Crystal, Nugget and Northern Brewer.

With the moon in descent beginning in mid-May, we uncovered our 2010 horn manure on the 18th and stirred and sprayed it on the future hopyard over the next few days. Tom Smith of Summit Labs in Ft Collins delivered our very happy baby hop plants on Friday, May 21st. We planted the next week until the last plantlet and it’s tiny rootball was in the ground yesterday afternoon.
