An Organic Hops Nursery – Vegetative Propagation as an Alternate Means to Developing a Hop Field

Annual Reports

  • 2007 annual report

Commodities

  • Agronomic: hops

Practices

  • Crop Production: organic fertilizers
  • Education and Training: demonstration, display, farmer to farmer
  • Production Systems: general crop production

Proposal summary:

Interest in alternative crops, historic preservation, and microbrewing have raised interest in northeast hop production, but starting a hop farm is very expensive. This project will explore the feasibility of propagating hop plants through vegetative propagation, as opposed to using hop rhizomes, as less expensive alternative when establishing a hop field. Outreach will be through farm tours, a web site, presentations, and publications.
