The 2nd Annual WNC Hops Tour is this Saturday, July 31st!
We had such a fun time last year, we decided to do it again!
This year we will visit Winding River Hops in Clyde, NC in Haywood County. You may remember this farm from when I did some hops stringing this spring. After Winding River Hops we will travel to Black Mountain to visit Hop'n Blueberry Farm. Both of these growers are WNC AgOptions grant recipients.
There is a lot to see this year, the hops yards look great and some of your favorite local breweries are making beer from the local hops!
After the tour at Hop'n Blueberry Farm, we will travel to French Broad Brewing Company for a special tour and tasting.
