Hops rhizome sales closed on May 12 for 2012. There will be no orders taken after this date. Hops have now all been dug, and shipping will follow the close of sales on May 12 as quickly as we can. Please follow us on Facebook to receive information about supplies and late orders, and about developments for 2013. In 2013 Left Fields will be solely supplied by Canadian organic hops growers. We believe in buying local and supporting our fledgeling hops industry, and we are proud to be representing a very fine group of farmers. This will mean some adjustments to our list of hops available, and we hope to continue to develop a broad base of varieties for sale to Canadian hops growers of all sizes. |

| Small Scale & Organic Hops Production manual | |||
With the assistance of BC Investment Agriculture, we have created a hops growing manual for small-scale and organic producers. This is a basic manual, including extensive cultivation information as well as tips on how to build and design hops trellising, home dryers, and packaging for market. Purchase this manual for $12.50, or it is available for download, free, for individual users thanks to generous funding by Investment Agriculture Foundation. It is copyrighted, and reproduction is a violation of copyright. If you would like a hard copy of the manual, or multiple copies, please contact us directly. Download the Small-Scale & Organic Hops Production Manual. This requires Acrobat Reader 4, a free program which is readily available. The manual can also be found through the COABC website. |

Hops Rhizomes Hops sales 2012 Left Fields sells hops rhizomes only, not hop cones or pelleted hops. If you don't see a variety you want on the list, we don't have it! We cannot sell any trademarked varieties or varieties in development at proprietary institutions — no Simcoe, Amarillo, Citra, Sirachi Ace or dwarf hops. Organic hops come both from our own yards and from other BC growers. Not all growers can provide rhizomes every year, as they renew their own yards first, and production of rhizomes does vary from year to year. This means that availability will also vary. BC hops are dug after US hops, as our latitude means that the snow is often not off our fields when the US hops are being dug. If you require early rhizomes, please feel free to shop directly from Freshops in Oregon. Our hops are dug about a week to two weeks before shipment in April. Non-organic hops (aka. conventional) are sourced from a variety of US farms. They are virus-free. US rhizomes are usually dug in March before shipping to us.
