Everyone is very friendly and welcoming and if you like beer, there are a couple of local pubs, and a working brewery, located here on the farm. We work hard throughout the year to grow and supply the very best hops in the industry, maintaining a strong partnership with our retailers and breweries is high on our agenda.
We are Red Tractor farm assured and compliance with audits is all part of our daily life.

Hop tying requires identification of strong hop shoots, tying these onto strings and removing unwanted green matter to encourage hop growth. Work is carried out near to ground level and requires stretching and pulling actions.
