  • Hopyard takes root in Dodgeville, Wisconsin

    DODGEVILLE, Wisconsin (May 27, 2010)--Matt Sweeny announced the
    launch of Simple Earth Hops, a Dodgeville, Wisconsin new farming
    business, who will provide ethically grown hops to local beer
    producers.

    Simple Earth Hops is a new 1/4 acre hopyard located at Greenspirit
    Farm CSA in Dodgeville, Wisconsin. The hopyard was founded with the
    idea of providing a much needed agricultural product for local craft
    brewers. Simple Earth Hops was established to demonstrate that local
    farmers can produce a consistent, sustainable supply of ultra high
    quality hops by working directly with local craft brewers while still
    maintaining a focus on ecology, the land and the people involved.

    "Craft beer producers have made it clear that they desire a local
    source of hops. Simple Earth Hops will address this need for a local
    sustainable supply of hops by small locally owned craft beer
    producers."

    Look for Simple Earth Hops to elaborate more on the details of a Grand
    Opening hopyard tour/beer tasting event in late July, 2010 and for the
    hopyard harvest tour & beer tasting in early Fall, 2011.

    About Simple Earth Hops
    Funding for Simple Earth Hops is provided in part by a 2009 NCR-SARE
    (USDA) grant. This small-scale commercial hopyard has been established
    by the Sweeny family of Dodgeville, Wisconsin who slowly grow earth
    friendly hops for local brewers with similar locavore ethics.
