​

The Tavistock Hop Company began with an idea to grow something unique, something few others were doing and most importantly something we could be passionate about.  That “something” we’re referring to is the resurgence of hops on Ontario farms.  Hops are a perennial plant from which the flowers provide beer with both bitterness and flavour depending on the variety and use in brewing.

What started as a simple crop suggestion from a friend, home brewer and craft beer enthusiast, quickly became an obsession for us.  The more we researched the viability of growing hops, the more set we were on planting our own hop yard to service the craft beer industry.  

A growing number of beer enthusiasts across the continent are seeking new and exciting flavours and the craft brewers are anxious to provide their patrons with the beverages they seek.  Our goal is to provide quality locally grown hops to the craft brewing industry.  Our Hop Yards are located on our family farm, Brenwyn Farms.  Together with my wife Julie our sons Nash and Reid, we farm alongside with our partners in hops, Jeremy and Donna Bartlett and their 3 boys Keaton, Rowan and Camden.

 As we venture into our 6th year as hop farmers we’re excited and looking forward to the upcoming growing season and “Good Beer Grows Here!”
