25.01.2022 Release the Passionfruit...AU Columbus smelling increasingly like Galaxy...cant complain!!

25.01.2022 Well due to La Nina, I decided to skip all the stress of the Novermber/December wind. That's one reason I cut back late. Starting to climb now. Should look pretty full in a few weeks. Some large side shoots already. Happy with the progress so far since it's inky really getting warm now. Cheers Stu

24.01.2022 Wow...71mm of rain so far in May. This is why we don't need to water our hops with run off from the washing machine...spring water is how our hops thrive! Guaranteed no heavy metal impregnated hops!!! ;) 100mm coming later this week. Looks like I'm prepping the driveway drainage again!! Can you call it the hills if your land and driveway is dead flat? I'm not sure that's the definition of 'Hills'? We like our hills, valleys, creeks ... rivers, trees, grassland, and rain at fresh hops coop! That's how we save on pesticide...offering up habitat for beneficial creatures! #mtloftyranges #therealdeal #Adelaidehills #hopsfarm #mylorhops #rain #rainbows

24.01.2022 Got some great value hops/fruit snips up on the website now! https://www.silverspringshopsfarm.com.au//hops-growing-ac/

24.01.2022 Lean and Green. When we say frog friendly farming. We mean it! Seems a family of southern brown tree frogs has moved into the "hot-house". Chilling out protecting the tomatoes as it gets cold and wet! Our land our ecosystem! #pesticidefreeagriculture #beneficialfrogs #workingwithnature #adelaidehills

23.01.2022 First batch of beer with the march harvest hops...literally picked less than 3 weeks ago...

22.01.2022 Took a selfie coming back up from digging rhizomes this arvo! Or at least the most accurate photo i could steal from google ;)

21.01.2022 We've started selling low pressure overhead sprinklers. Waaaay cheaper than bunnings!! https://www.silverspringshopsfarm.com.au//mini-wobbler-sp/

20.01.2022 Centennial rhizomes are back in stock! Medium and Large this year. Cheers https://www.silverspringshopsfarm.com.au//centennial-rhiz/

20.01.2022 Its wet and cold here. However i will still not dig rhizomes until June. Get ready though! Its definitely getting close now! I may take some pre orders but I dont feel comfortable with it until i at least have a scout first. Cheers Stu

19.01.2022 I've learnt Russhin is bad...only cold war here is with spring dragging its arse!!! Farming jokes ;)

19.01.2022 Some amazing Centennial flowers this year from the main farm. The bar tender said the picking crew all stank like hops! About a month and there will be an intense harvest ale coming from Smiling Samoyed Brewery! Stayed for lunch again. The food and beer just keep getting better and better! ... Cheers to all of our customers and beer lovers! Stu

18.01.2022 Hi everyone. Will be adding some more to the list of rhizomes soon. Another 60mm of rain in 24hrs. Its getting easier to dig by the minute! Stay dry everyone :/ Cheers Stu

18.01.2022 Results are in...just a little taster tonight ;)

18.01.2022 This is my life for the next few weeks. Not to bad did 5.4kgs in under 2hrs this arvo! Easy picking nice juicy cones!

17.01.2022 What a brilliant start to summer... 10, 10mm of rain and the house fires been on for 24hrs...

17.01.2022 Here is to the wank stains making a 40...a year!!! Non native duck theft! So going straight to hell! https://www.youtube.com/watch

17.01.2022 A great message and a great beer!!! Remember an eye for an eye leaves everyone blind! Plus it's 2019 and we're running around in the belief that religions are an excuse for murder?...incase everyone missed the memo we have proof black holes exists...so your sky fairy is as real as the other sky fairies...the big bang was the reason for our creation not a fairy!!! #dontshoot #blackhole

17.01.2022 Market garden trials are into their final stage. Learning heaps from diversification in crops. As apposed to just growing the 1 type of plant. Hops jas also taught us a lot about crop quality. Its a big cycle sustainable horticulture, and im loving the challenges of getting our standards high enough to get brewers raving about our hops. They haven't tried our potatoes yet ;) ... Cheers Stu https://youtu.be/p_K2WTPuv4E

17.01.2022 I knew this summer would be bad. Have not done to badly here with fires or drought...yet. However I have made the hard decision not to run masterclasses in 2020. For me it's morally and ethically wrong to promote and encourage people to grow hops on a large scale right now. After seeing so many farms/dreams burn across Australia with months of fire season to go. I'm really sorry everyone it just doesn't feel right this season. We are still hoping to do a few harvest ales wi...th some local breweries. They all need help in the Adelaide hills. Tourism has taken a huge dive. Their margins are already that that huge paying massive amounts of tax on the product that helped Australia become Australia! Hops for beer production. James Squires what, did he steal hops for bread making did he? Every dollar you spend on beer in Australia, 42 cents goes to the federal government. We all know they only care about their budget too! :'(

16.01.2022 Don't forget we also retail sustainable, ethical, compostable slave labor free coir twine. Perfect for climbing your hops up. Will last a season cost per meter is low and you're helping people in SriLanka put food on their tables with a proper wage!! 45kg working load limit. This is exactly what we use here. I had zero breakage last year. Last thing you want is to lose 5 months of hard work with substandard sisal or jute both WONT last out in the weather. ... Contact me for 1000m rolls $150ea 50m rolls $8.99ea or 6x50m for $39.99 for the medium sized growers. Now 1000m rolls for the larger growers. Can express ship. Check website for details. Cheers

16.01.2022 Right looks like im going to be employing some 7m pole mounted impact sprinklers!!! Water security is FOOD security...good luck everyone!! Cause praying wont help...

14.01.2022 Jakes Gold has just been released. This is an heirloom Golding variety found, saved and propagated by us. It was discovered by Jake Evans in 2016(hence Jakes Gold)in the river in our local area. Most probably what Rockford was growing around the Mylor township in the early 1900s. Jake will be getting a cut of all these sales. Strong growing plants, they flower ok about in par with what ive seen Saaz do. Amazingly aromatic with a very strobg herbal and peppery aroma. You wont... get a crop like a Chinook but youll also never get any other hops like this. Its grom a time before breeding programs, massive hops farms, chemical agriculture and even machine assisted agriculture. This is a genuine survivor from days long gone and part of Australian brewing history! Grab one now from our farm direct website!! Very excited about this. Cheer Stu https://www.silverspringshopsfarm.com.au//jakes-gold-heir/

05.01.2022 When the neighbours cut all their trees out...which was all the shade for the market trials paddock. Then you wonder if maybe they dont think you're crazy...or they're just keen to grow their own potatoes etc. Game on...warmest flattest paddock within 10kms...now its even warmer <3 the veg will help more with oxygen than the trees couldve!
