Hop rhizomes are in stock for 2025! This year, to keep it simple, we have CTZ as the sole variety available, although it goes by three different names. Also known as Columbus, Tomahawk, or Zeus, this hop a high alpha acid resin producer. CTZ can be used for both bitterness and aroma.
Get them planted soon and you’ll have a nice crop after a couple years. They do well starting in planters and then somewhere in the ground with full sun, or south facing at least. The plants are nice to look at while they’re getting established. Hops have many uses in addition to making beer taste great, try hop tea or even hop butter! We also have coco twine and clips and more growing tips- see you soon! 🪴

Hop rhizomes are in and ready to plant! Rhizomes are a root cutting, and hops are grown from them, after planting they’ll come back every year. They’re an easy plant to grow in Boulder and like to grow up a trellis made of coconut coir twine which we also carry. You can expect to get tall bines (not called vines, they’re different in that they grab with their scratchy rougness) in year 3 and good yields starting then. We could go on all day about hops.
Available now:
Cascade
Cashmere
Centennial
Chinook
Columbus
Comet
Crystal
Cluster
Galena
Magnum
Mt. Hood
Nugget
Sterling
Tahoma

Our crushers & presses have seen continuous use for the past month or so and we’re near the final stretch! Get those apples 🍎 🍏 🍐 and pears, grapes and berries picked and swing by for some friendly advice, yeast, pectic enzyme, nutrient, fermentors and equipment rentals. You might choose to bring your fruit & process it outside for a quick activity where we can help & less hauling equipment. Spent pressed fruit goes to our friends at .farm and feeds their 🐷 pigs. This year has been a big one for tree fruit!!!
