As craft brewing has gained popularity, some local farms have started to grow hops to supply breweries in the area and beyond. Aurora Mills in Linneus is famous for its sustainable organic farming practices and high-quality barley and wheat, which are prized by brewers for their rich aroma and flavor.
Aroostook Hops in Westfield produces robust hop strains suited to Maine’ s climate and offering tours of their farm, and Maine Malt House in Mapleton provides locally grown and malted barley that enhances the flavor of Maine brews.
