Raging Ruth Hop Farm Updates
New Products Available
We have put pork on our farm to fork menu. This meat is about 1/8" thick and about 2 + inches wide. Some old school product that has been missing for years. The following products can only come from properly raised 2 to 2-1/2 year old sows, not what you will find at your "now a day super-market".
Bacon
Sausage
Some extra fine ground mild flavored sausage, great on a biscuit with our fresh eggs and a touch of Texas Pete.
Boneless pork steaks
These were off the chart, at 3/4" thick and fried up in the cast-iron skillet. Ya can't deny your tastebuds.
Cascade and Chinook Hops Analyses
We submitted samples of our hops to Virginia Tech. for analyses and results are as follows.
CASCADE CHINOOK
1 - Alpha Acid 6.49% 10.44%
2 - Beta Acid 3.29% 2.06%
3 - Storage Index 0.14% 0.26%
Our Yard
Our four trellises, Chinook is growing in the two to the left and the Cascade is growing to the right. Hope this year's crop will be much better than this photo :-) I'll be upgrading this one soon. We are also experimenting with a small batch of AlphAroma, Canadian Redvine and Magnum varieties to test their abilities growing in this climate and soil type.
A Touch of Color
Companion plants add a special touch that brings the hop yard to life.
What It's All About
The end product is what it's all about, and through good practices, great beer hops for your favorite recipe.
