    Just watched this with my kids, as we just passed a hop farm - great way to see the process - well done. :-)

    Hello, great video. I had some questions on your steel poles. Can you give me the dimensions (length, diameter, thickness)? How far did you have them spaced? Where did you source them? Thanks!

    Hello! Very nice video ... but do you have any information to share on some specific parts of the nice job you did? i.e.. the steel pillars, the fixation of the cable : have you added some parts, hooks, plates by yourself? Do you have draws or details to share on the tricky things that change everything? I live in France, in the Alpes mountains and we are kind of backward on small scale and organic hop growing issues! I would be very grateful if you could share a few things ;) Thanks

    How long do you grow hops in the same place? Do they need to rotated out with other crops?

    so, I've got 8 acres near the Bay of Fundy, in NB. How profitable can growing hops be?

      8 acres would be a huge farm. Do some research first to see what hops will grow in that area- (cooler, wetter climate with a shoter grow season) You won't see any real yields in your first year, and minimal in the second. If you have a university with an AG program near you, you might want to reach out to them to see if any research on hop farmiong that area has been done.

    How many square meters you think you need to be profitable in hop farming?

    Where did you get that yellow platform for the aerial rigging? I have a small hops farm and yet to find a good way to go up 20ft without a lift
