So Fresh and So Green
There’s nothing quite like fresh hops – the aromas they impart, the flavors they deliver, the beers they produce. For brewers, farmers, and craft beer drinkers alike, fresh hop season brings an air of anticipation and ceremony, a palpable excitement born from the short-lived opportunity to brew with whole-leaf hops hours after they’re picked.
Fresh hops – also referred to as green or wet hops – are raw, un-dried hops picked from the bine and then immediately used for brewing (typically within 24 hours). Available once a year during our harvest from mid-August to late September, Crosby fresh hops can be preordered throughout the year.
How It Works
All Crosby fresh hops are estate grown at our fifth-generation farm in Woodburn, Oregon. Here’s some other helpful information:
- All fresh hop varieties are $5 per pound and sold in 20 pound increments
- Preorders require no upfront commitment and your order can be adjusted up to 48 hours in advance of the pick date. Orders cancelled day of harvest are subject to a $100 cancellation fee
- Harvest dates listed below are estimate ranges. Our team will be in touch closer to harvest with additional information regarding when your fresh hops will be available
- Harvest dates are subject to change, so we encourage you to keep your production schedule as flexible as possible. Last minute shifts are a natural part of fresh hop season
- Pickup at the farm is encouraged and available by appointment only
- Overnight shipping is available via Next-Day Air
- For orders over 1,000 pounds, please reach out to freshhops@crosbyhops.com to inquire about bulk variety availability and pricing. This option is available for farm pickup only.
