WHAT WE'RE ABOUT
We're dedicated to growing the best hops possible. Our commitment to sustainable farming practices ensures that our hops are grown, harvested and processed to industry best practice standards to meet the expectations of the brewers and consumers. We're proud to be part of the Tasman community and strive to provide the highest quality hops to the world through Clayton Hops operating New Zealand’s flagship hop pelletising, packaging and cool store facility.
​
If you have a passion for craft beers like us, or just want to have a different kind horticultural experience, then come and give hops a try. Reach out to us about working the seasons. Hop Harvests are great way to end the summer season on the farms for Kiwis and travelers exploring rural NZ.
Sustainability
We're dedicated to growing exceptional hops while nurturing the land. Our sustainable practices ensure healthy soil, clean water, and a thriving ecosystem.
​
After each harvest, we transform massive amounts of hop green matter into nutrient-rich compost to enrich our soils organically. We use biodegradable string to support our hops, minimising waste and environmental impact.
To enhance biodiversity, we plant native species to supporting the wildlife and to protect our waterways. Additionally, we grass our inter rows to reduce cultivation and tilling, which preserves soil moisture, improves the soils organic integrity, and maintains a balanced ecosystem.
​
These methods not only help to protect our land but also produce the highest-quality hops for outstanding brews.
