Hop Harvest Underway At Four Winds Farm

MID-WEST FARM REPORT - MADISON

Here in Wisconsin, beer is something we know and love. But you can’t have flavorful, aromatic beer without a very important specialty crop -- hops! August is a busy time of year in the hop yard. This is when the cones come off the vine and go to the brewery. But it’s more complicated than that. Today we’re heading to Four Winds Farm in Fitchburg with the Wisconsin Agricultural Tourism Association. Farm Manager Joey Dunscombe tells us what it takes to grow and harvest hops. This podcast series is brought to you courtesy of Specialty Crop Block Grant 23-10. Learn more about how to engage with Wisconsin's agricultural tourism industry at https://gowiagtourism.com/.
