As one of the largest and most diverse hop growers in Oregon, we produce millions of pounds of high-quality hops each year, from a dozen distinct varieties.
We raise hops across 2,500 acres of Willamette Valley farmland on our four distinct farms.
Our Hop Farms
Willamette Valley, Oregon
HOMEPLACE FARM
St. Paul, Oregon
Named for the alluvial plain where the fields are located, the Alluvial Hop Farm was purchased from John I. Haas in 2004. Today, this 1,050 contiguous acre farm, hugged by the Willamette River, is recognized as the largest hop farm in Oregon. This farm raises hops from a dozen distinct varieties, is home to Indie Hops’ Advance Nursery and includes modern harvesting equipment such as a 12-kiln hop house featuring MeasureTek systems.
Located in the area that was once lauded as the "Hop Capital of the World" in the 1900s, Alluvial continually provides some of the most desirable Oregon hops.

Homeplace Farm is named for being the first property owned by the Coleman family, it was purchased from Mary Ellen Jackson Coleman in 1936, Originally 400 acres, the farm has more than doubled in size, with over nine varieties of hops, along with other crops such as grass seed, Hazelnuts, garlic and a vineyard of Pinot Noir grapes.
In 2017 the Hop Kiln was updated with modern technology, including MeasureTek, to aid in better production and efficiency as our historic farm continues to grow.

MOUNT ANGEL FARM

GreenLeaf Hop Farm was purchased in 2020 from our cousins Steve Coleman and Todd Koch, it was established by Steve's parents Don and Maureen Coleman. This farm is just a mile and a half down the road from the Homeplace Farm, consisting of fertile bottom ground along the Willamette River, with plentiful riparian areas and upper bench ground. Here we grow approximately 300 acres of hops.
Cascade Hops are particularly well suited for this site, and Greenleaf has garnered a total of five awards from the Hop Quality Group’s Cascade Cup, scoring top honors in 2024 and 2021, and runner-up in 2023 and 2019.

Futher research in progress
We started operating the Mount Angel Farm in 1975 when our lease with the Mount Angel Abbey Seminary first began. The site is hop to the oldest remaining hop harvester and kiln in Oregon.
For many years, Willamette Hops for Anheuser-Busch were the only variety grown on this farm. We now grow six hop varieties on more than 200 acres in this quaint Bavarian town, where we also cultivate Hazelnuts.
We appreciate our long-time relationship with the Abbey and its monk-operated Benedictine Brewery.
