Getting Started Growing Hops Webinar: April 8 at Noon

Resources for Vermont's beginning farmers.

Getting Started with Growing Hops

Apr 08, 2015 at 12:00 PM EDT.

Demand for local brewing ingredients has increased as the demand for local products has hit the beverage industry. Farmers are finding opportunities to now grow hops and grains to supply the numerous microbreweries in VT. Hops, a crop that was historically grown in Vermont is having a renaissance of sorts.

Join UVM Extension's Heather Darby for a presentation on getting started with hops. We'll cover setting up a trellis system, soil fertility, variety selection, pest management, harvesting, and post-harvest management.

The webinar is free, but pre-registration is required. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.
