Drip Irrigation
We have invested in drip irrigation, which requires less water and fuel
Cover Crops
Our pea-oat-barley cover crop between the hop rows builds organic matter in the soil and reduces fuel consumption
Managed Woodlot, Protected Environmental Zone
We sequester carbon in our Carolinian hardwood forest and environmentally protected wetland.
Re-cycle Hops Harvest Waste
Leaves, bines and coir left over from the harvest are returned to the land to rebuild the soil
Coconut Coir
Our hop strings are made from coconut coir, an ecofriendly and biodegradable waste product of coconut consumption
Renewable Energy
We use geo-thermal, solar and wood to generate heat for our barn and house
