About Us
Hop Skagit is a family owned farm in the beautiful Skagit Valley, nestled between the river and the sea. Amy Moe is a fourth generation farmer who grew up on the farm that we now grow our hops. At the time it was a dairy farm, but has since been retired. Byron Betts grew up in Montana on a mountain, doing mountain things. Together, they are Hop Skagit.
OUR HOPS
We currently grow nine varieties of hops- five are in their second year: Cascade, Comet, Chrystal, Nugget, and Saaz 72. We planted an additional four varieties this spring: Mount Rainier, Perle, Sterling, and Willamette.

Practices
Our Mission is to promote and encourage the use of locally and sustainably produced goods within our community through responsible land use and education.
We have chosen to partner with Skagit Horticulture for our hop stock, as they are in the clean plant network and wonderful to work with. As hops were traditionally grown in our area, we want to be sure that we are being responsible stewards of the land and not bringing potential hop ailments back to the area.
