All of us grow for our own reasons of course. I think one of the most pleasing reasons I grow is the Hardywood Community Hopping Project. Sure we grow all kinds of hops going to other brewers, but there is something about this project that is really cool. It brings the community of beer fans who typically appreciate Hardywood from a consumer perspective into the brewery of sorts in a different capacity.
I always look forward to checking on the hops that have been selected for the project. In 2014 we are doing some really awesome events out at the Hop Farm to work with more of the growers in the Community Hopping Project. One of the biggest issues a lot of people have is space at home to grow their hops. They want to grow more and of course Hardywood would like for them to grow more so we have decided to open up the farm to offer the space and full rows for our Hardywood friends to come out with us and plant rhizomes and field starts to contribute more to Hardywood.
We would like to help elevate this project to where anyone who wishes to participate has the opportunity to participate and we believe that by providing them the environment to grow that more people will join with us and support Hardywood even more. By inviting growers to grow collectively, we all can monitor and share in the experience together and learn more about the process as well.
In late Spring, we will be inviting all those that wish to come out to the farm and plant. Simply show up and join us and have some fun this Spring as we plant for Hardywood!
