Based in the fertile Willamette Valley, Coleman manages more than 7,500 acres of hops, hazelnuts, seed crops, and a variety of vegetables. They grow 16 varieties of hops and produce more than 4 million pounds of this essential beer ingredient. They have a deep commitment to integrating sustainable practices into their farming operations, as demonstrated by their Salmon-Safe certification and inclusion in Yakima Chief Hops’ Green Chief® program.

“Our team is focused on continually aligning our values with those of our brewing partners. We believe that the creation of great craft brews starts in the field and is fostered through the union of our seasoned hop team, passionate brewers, brilliant scientists & researchers, along with our hop suppliers. As modern farmers, we’re committed to protecting the environment with sustainably driven practices. We strive to farm with an innovative lens for a healthier ecosystem while still honoring our heritage and traditional farming practices.”

Coleman Ag has provided hops for this and previous year’s Wild & Scenic Earth Day Collaboration beer series and has recruited several breweries to the collaboration through their outreach.
