This unique crop is increasingly in demand due to the rapidly growing interest <br />in the home brewing of beer and the craft brewing industry taking root right here in <br />Cabarrus County, the Charlotte Region and throughout the state of North Carolina. This <br />project is currently serving as a trial to see if this crop can be raised in an economically <br />viable way, adding yet another option for a diversified farming operation. CABREW <br />hopes to partner with Cooperative Extension and NCSU to expand this project. <br />• Six hops towers <br />• Five varieties being tested <br />• Weekly CABREW meetings at Lomax Farm <br />during the warm season to trim vines, weed, <br />water and talk hops. <br />• https://cabrew.wordpress.com/ <br />33 <br />G -6 Page 205 <br />
