Hopyard Takes Root In Dodgeville, Wisconsin
Simple Earth Hops to Provide Ethically Grown Hops for Local Beer Producers
DODGEVILLE, Wisconsin --Today, Matt Sweeny announced the launch
of Simple Earth Hops, a Dodgeville, Wisconsin new farming business,
who will provide ethically grown hops to local beer producers.
Simple Earth Hops is a new 1/4 acre hopyard located at Greenspirit
Farm CSA in Dodgeville, Wisconsin. The hopyard was founded with
the idea of providing a much needed agricultural product for local
craft brewers. Simple Earth Hops was established to demonstrate that
local farmers can produce a consistent, sustainable supply of ultra
high quality hops by working directly with local craft brewers while
still maintaining a focus on ecology, the land and the people involved.
"Craft beer producers have made it clear that they desire a local source
of hops. Simple Earth Hops will address this need for a local sustainable
supply of hops by small locally owned craft beer producers."
Look for Simple Earth Hops to elaborate more on the details of a Grand
Opening hopyard tour/beer tasting event in late July, 2010 and for the
hopyard harvest tour & beer tasting in early Fall, 2011.
About Simple Earth Hops
Funding for Simple Earth Hops is provided in part by a 2009 NCR-SARE (USDA) grant. This small-scale commercial hopyard has been
established by the Sweeny family of Dodgeville, Wisconsin who slowly grow earth friendly hops for local brewers with similar locavore
ethics.
