Harvest 2018

        

                                      

      After a long silence, 

WE ARE BACK!

The last couple of years have been challenging as we were busy building our new field and all the dilemmas that came with it...flooding, late starts because of snow...etc

but we survived it all and are happy to announce that the harvest of 2018 has been our most successful crop to date.

Here are some of the pictures of the farm this year:

We had a dream team of workers this year...starting in April with Thibaut, Priska, Harold, PG, Nano, Magda and Sophia!

These young people put their all into training and striping the plants!

During the summer we were graced by Porter and Kirsty who went over and above with leftover hop things and regular farm work.

September arrived and brought with it a group of people who stunned us with their work ethics...

Flavia, Lucie, Dario and the return of Porter and Kirsty!!

Don't remember a harvest that went so smoothly and quickly, this group worked tirelessly and each had their gifting...

We are forever grateful!

Our year of blessings didn't finish with harvest as we had a fun loving, hardworking couple from Wales, Hywel and Alex, and a young lad Josh from Germany who prepared our fields for a winter sleep and spring 

2019!

We would also like to give a huge

Spring 2015

SUMMER APPROACHES




The season is in full swing with the hops already stretching their tentacles to the top of the wire!! 
An early harvest is plausible if this incredible weather keeps up.
Ask us about ordering fresh hops!














SPRING 2015

If this is climate change I like it!

The incredibly beautiful start to spring has allowed us to begin prep work in the fields!



2014

A NEW YEAR

2014

When the last of the snow finally receded our newly cleared field stretched before us
like a blank canvas, ready for planting.
Eagle Valley Hops Estate is proud to introduce three new hop varieties:


CRYSTAL
NORTHERN BREWER
EAST KENT GOLDING


These varieties will be available for sale 2015


We are hoping for another bumper crop in 2014 of our existing, Cascades, Centennial,
Hallertau and Willamette.




With our crop expansion comes the purchase of a harvester!
I am filled with mixed emotions...looking forward to the faster process, but
sad at the loss of community when our friends and family gathered to pick hops.
Onward and Upward!!
 

Harvest 2013

2013

Eagle Valley Hops Estate is pleased to have produced a quality harvest.                       

Although it proved to be a challenging year battling Mother Nature, with a couple of very rainy months and then record heat, we are pleased to announce that we successfully increased our yield by 500%! 

Our  crop was handpicked this year, which ensures purity of product and our low heat drying process further protects the integrity of the oils.   Eagle Valley Hops Estate pelletizes using a Whole Leaf Pelletizer.  Not using the industry standard hammer mill, which further degrades the lupilin, this unit provides the benefit of the whole leaf flavour with the convenience of pellets.  All our product is nitrogen flushed, vacuum-sealed and packaged in 1 lb. mylar packages.

Here are the results as well as the products we are offering:

 

  Variety             Alpha             Beta                     H.S.I.                           Price/lb.        Availability

Cascade             10.2                    7.2                     0.212                             $15.70            

Centennial        11.5                    4.0                      0.250                            $17.65

Hallertau            4.9                    3.6                      0.284                            $15.75

Willamette         5.8                      4.7                     0.284                            $15.65

 

We look forward to hearing from you!

Finished Product

Freshly Picked Hops



Vigilant daily checking allowed the hops to be picked at the height of ripeness


Dried Hops

 

After picking, the hops were laid in drying racks and dried with a soft blowing heat to standard dryness.
The bright yellow luplin is gold to growers and brewers alike!


Pelletizer

Sounds of whirring and grinding fill the air as the dried hops are transformed into
vibrant and fragrant pellets.

 

Our hops were sent off to be analysised and the results were great.  Eagle Valley Hops Estate is pleased to have produced a quality product.
