Hello everyone! I am reading that you can grow hops in a cold place like Canada! My mom has a green thumb and I’m sure can find space on our land for hops to be grown. Can anyone give me a lead on where I can get the roots for this? thnx!!! Ross vignale

Found a great place!  Cheap too!  Unfortunatly Goodwood ontario is around THUNDER BAY!!!!  Too far for me to drive! So I surfed the net and found a very good place. www.freshops.com I bought some rhizomes (roots), and expect the hops to be here by tomorrow! Thnx Mr Steele.  btw I’m a VFP guy.  Visual Fox Pro. Glad to see you like to program and brew beer like me too!  Thnx for the tip. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – http://www.richters.com/ , in Goodwood, has some. — Doug Steele, Microsoft Access MVP http://I.Am/DougSteele Hello everyone!

Not unless they moved it recently . Probably just under an hour’s drive. From Caledon, South on 10, East on 7 to Markham, North on 48 to Ringwood, East on 47 to Goodwood. Richters had 5 varieties when I bought mine a few years ago. Cascade, Willamette, Hallertau, Mt. Hood and Nugget. Ross
