What have you done for local Wisconsin hops

Simple Earth Hops needs your help to raise funds for sustainable farm events and innovative hopyard! Please get involved in this project as a donor via Kickstarter at http://hops.me/6up, if you care about beer and sustainability.



Kickstarter is a unique method for great ideas to receive funding through an 'all or nothing' funding method where projects must be fully funded through donations or no money changes hands.

Take a minute to read over the project and watch the short 5 minute movie.


This project will support an outreach event and will help with hop growing costs at a community based commercial hopyard-located in Wisconsin. The goal of this project is to cover some operating costs and the cost of hosting our next farm event where we use education to demonstrate to the community about sustainable farming methods and to share with others the economic opportunity presented by growing hops as a high demand local crop for small brewers. In 2009 Simple Earth Hops secured a USDA grant to recoup the cost of building our hopyard, but support for outreach events and some growing expenses is still need.

If you would, please see what you can do at http://hops.me/6up.
