It took weeks to build and hours to take down... After six seasons the #hops trellis that has made our landscape is coming down.

The final day of our final harvest at Cedar Falls Hops. After much consideration we have decided that this will be the last season for us to grow hops. We are very grateful for the friends, family and community who have supported us.

What's going on in the #hops field? Not too much. This recent cold weather has kept plants from breaking dormancy.

We're vocal about local. Let's hear your voice, what local ingredients is your brewery using? #vocalaboutlocal

Today's winter #solstice marks the turning point where days start to get longer. While not as important for #hops, it is the gentle reminder that our next growing season will be here before we know it.

Unreal. Low air quality due to Kansas wildfires and dust being kicked up from Colorado, Kansas and Oklahoma. This is truly remarkable. #IAwx

Remember when the wine folks were pushing for a white wine emoji? I'd like to start a push for a dark beer emoji. Hashtag ideas?

@SingleSpeedCF Can't wait to try this! Had to look up this beer style to find out more. See you this afternoon! 🍻

And with that, @mike_byrum cuts down the final #hop bine of the season! #Hopsharvest 2021 is complete. 2021 pellets available next week, who's ready?

Bird's eye view of harvesting #hops.

[Cedar Falls Hops Co. @CedarFallsHops]

Is there a prettier sight? These are second year Triumph hops getting close to harvest.

[Cedar Falls Hops Co. @CedarFallsHops]

Harvest is approaching quickly! Today we are collecting samples to test moisture content in the #hops.

[SingleSpeed Brewing @SingleSpeedBeer]

So many #hops, we might just start ourselves a basketball team. #SlamDUNK #CedarFallsHopCo

[Cedar Falls Hops Co. @CedarFallsHops]

Why a butterfly? This Question Mark feeds on #hops as a caterpillar. If you find mysterious caterpillars on your plants it may be this beauty. #ipm #

The longest day of the year, the summer solstice, is a key point in the hops season. We want our plants at the top of their string so they can begin to flower. These Mackinac are looking good!

[Cedar Falls Hops Co. @CedarFallsHops]

Guess what we are working on today...
