i live around traverse city and have the crazy notion of starting a 20acre hop/barley farm. my father's got 40 acres of farmland that's not being used for anything, and hasn't been for a long time. I'm still looking around to figure out if this is a viable project. would love some info, advice etc... also, where/when is the hop growing seminar in traverse city?

Anyone reading this interested visit my blog at http://hopheadfarms.spaces.live.com/ to get a hold of me. This is too impersonal with usernames and all. I need real names and real numbers if you are serious. I intend to be the glue that binds the MI growers into our own consortium.

My fiancé and I are starting a very small scale hop yard this next spring in Grand Rapids. Both of us are attending the seminar in Traverse City too. If anyone is looking to get an order in before the spring The Thyme Garden is taking preorders already. They are an organic grower out of Oregon. We are planting about 70 Cascades and 30 Sterlings. Our goal is to provide localy grown hand picked hops while giving homebrewers a quality option over the mass produced hops from the West. Currently I have just a few Cascades growing but look forward to jumping in head first next spring. I am far from an expert but am willing to help with any questions as I can as I have been studying up for the past year. Please keep in touch and I look forward to seeing some of you on the 17th.

We're practicaly neighbors. We live south east of Grand Rapids and have friends that live there. We love Founders and Hopcat, both great places. We've got 90 organic rhizomes and a site for organic production. Ours are from Thyme Gardens as well. Good luck and check me out on the Facebook group, Great Lakes Hop Growers Consortium.
