Thinking of Joining The Deal Hop Farm in 2025 ?
We have our 9th Season Launch Meeting at the Lighthouse on Weds 5th Feb from 6:30pm ..

In 2017 we launched a patchwork farm made up of peoples’ gardens, allotments, and community gardens & spaces.
In 2024 we had over 260 sites with some 400 people involved. Last year we produced 174 Kilos of hops and six beers with local brewers Chislet, Time &Tide and Shivering Sands
The idea is to work together to grow, harvest, learn, have fun with Hops and produce some quality local beer which is available in local pubs & outlets.
