Birds, Bees, and Rock and Roll

Hop House Farm is a beekeeping farm that strives to practice regenerative, no-chemical farming. On-farm, we also raise pastured chickens and vegetables and we are establishing a permaculture-style mixed fruit orchard. Most exciting, there is a brewery on the farm; Wayward Lane Brewing! We are open to visitors during brewery business hours, see the “About” section for more details!
