A little bit about this place. We stopped by here on our way back from the Medford Airport. They're a small organic hop farm in the hills of Ashland. They've developed everything organically, so even the string and hoses are all recycled. They're mostly growing Cascade hops which they've measured alpha rates at as high as 12%. They also have a small patch of Nugget hops which are around the same alpha rate. Steve the owner was nice enough to give me 2 oz of last years Cascades, and 3 oz of this years Nuggets. Very exciting to be back in Beer Country.
