We had a busy week here at the farm as we had a water pipe laid to connect to our field on Friday the 15th. We filled the hole in on Tuesday, fixing a leak that sprang. The vineyard and the hops yard also got hoed in preparation for spraying herbicides and fungicides today. On Wednesday we restrung the hops yard as much as we could with the rope we had on hand, more rope has been ordered to finish that job in the coming week.

 Today at the AAUFRC we had our first harvest of hops! Pherm Brewery asked for 1lb of fresh hops for their beer, a number which we met seven fold. We gave them 5.5lbs of the Cascade variety which is the leading industry standard variety, and we gave them 2lbs of the Comet variety. Our hops really amazed us with how much they produced in their first year, typically you would not see numbers like this until year two or three! While we were out with the hops we also fixed the post that had broken in our storm last Tuesday. We used wood glue and screws in some extra 2x4s to hold it all together.
