OUR STORY
Fresh hops grown locally for WA brewers
South West Hops is a multi-generational family-owned business. We made the Blackwood region our home in 2004, moving from inner-city Perth. We first started our hop journey as backyard growers on a 4-acre property in Bridgetown, but soon realised growing hops was our passion.
We were lucky enough to find our perfect property, a 100-acre farm in picturesque Yornup (10km south of Bridgetown) in 2021 and began our commercial hop growing journey.
When we aren't working in our hop yard, we are busy riding horses, looking after our small herd of cattle, pet pigs, walking our dogs, having a beer on the veranda, and generally enjoying country life.
As a family, we are committed to regenerative farming practises, improving the soil, working with the ecology and supporting the environment. This is reflected in all our farming practices.
CONNECTION • CONSISTENCY • DEPENDABILITY • INTEGRITY • PASSION • SUSTAINABILITY
Harvest
Between February and March, it is all hands on deck. We are busy processing our matured hops to make your beer outstanding.
Outside of that, you'll find us preparing the yard, planting and the glorious task of hand-weeding.
