The Pursuit of HOPPINESS
WELCOME
Here at Cold Spring Hops Farm, growing quality hops is our passion. We strive for strong healthy plants that produce the finest Cascade and Newport hops. With just over an acre of land planted our plants are reaching for the sun and are healthy and strong. We look forward to producing the highest quality product to our local and New York brewers.
Thank you for visiting our page we look forward to continuing to grow our farm!

NEWPORT
Newport helped pull the northwest out of disease crisis in the late 90's. Its resistance to downy mildew and powdery mildew has helped in its success. Newport produces good yields at 1990-2250 lbs/acre of medium to large size moderately loose cones. This middle of the road grower is ideal for beer styles such as American Ales, and India Pale Ales. Its also ideal for Holiday Ales, and Barley Wines.

We have about a 50/50 of Cascade and Newport hops planted on a little over of an acre. The hop growing process is a rewarding process as the hops reach of the sun at a fast pace. We take great pride in making sure that our soil conditions and irregation are kept at the very highest standard.
