Hops Plants
Hops sales are closed for 2017.
Plugs already ordered will ship in July or August.
Left Fields is the organic farm on which Crannóg Ales stands. We grow hops for the brewery and sell rhizomes to other commercial producers and the general public. We also farm a wide variety of livestock, fruit and vegetables, and process some of our produce on-farm.
All our rhizomes are from our own farm and other BC organic 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. Our hops are dug about a week to two weeks before shipment in April.
New for 2017 we have hops plugs available. These are propagated by tissue culture from disease-free stock in a BC nursery, and are available in bulk only in 50P plugs. They will ship in June direct from the nursery or by pickup at our farm. We will also be bringing in plugs from an Ontario nursery for those who are willing to risk the early cross-Canada shipping!
Left Fields holds regional certification only, certified by the North Okanagan Organic Association under the Canadian Organic Regime. We are BC Certified Organic only. This means that we do not hold national certification, although we do conform to the National Regime. Please let your organic certification agency know this before purchasing organic rhizomes.
A copy of our organic certificate will be included with your order on request.
We do our best to supply top-grade, disease-free rhizomes, but these rhizomes are from commercial yards which may suffer from mildew and disease. We examine all rhizomes prior to shipment to ensure that there are no signs of mildew. The plugs we supply are tissue cultured from disease-free stock from the Clean Plant Network by a local lab and nursery.
No hops have been genetically modified or propagated using GMOs.
Please see our Farm page for links with information on agriculture, organics, hops technical resources and much more. You can also order our extensively researched Hops Manual to ship before or along with your rhizomes. If you don't need a print copy, you can download a free copy of the Manual from our Farm page.
We cannot sell any trademarked varieties or varieties in development at proprietary institutions — no Simcoe, Amarillo, Citra, Sorachi Ace or dwarf hops.
