Great educational experience to learn about a real farm brewery, how to harvest hops, how to prepare them and to participate in the actual brewing process. You are welcome to ask the brewers questions as you watch the brewing process in person. Come out and join the festivities with the whole family, pets are welcome too!
Free lunch is provided to those who help pick hops. Don’t miss a chance to speak with the brewers and learn a few tricks of the trade!
