An emotional final hop harvest at Hampton Estate.
The final loads, final bines, and final time they pushed the Bruff’s switch.

The team celebrated the final harvest of Hampton hops last week with over 100 past pickers, friends, and family joining them to say farewell to the hops.

Bill wrote a poem which will be made available Instagram.

Madison has been visiting hop growers, and the Karma® yards are looking fantastic!

The established Karma® plants are almost ready for harvest, with picking expected to begin in just 7–12 days. Even more exciting, we're working with a brewery local to Yakima (WA) to produce a fresh hop Karma® b**r for the Fresh Hop Ale Festival.

Watch this space for more details!

The first-year (baby) Karma® plants have also exceeded expectations, producing an incredible number of large cones. It's amazing to see such strong early growth, especially when compared with other first-year varieties that may not even be harvested this season.

It's another exciting milestone for our international Hop Development Programme.
