Crosby Hop Farm, a fifth-generation farm in Woodburn, supplies craft breweries both near and far with more than 75 varieties of hops.

This summer, you'll be able to drink some of the beers made with their hops in an outdoor, on-farm beer garden. 

Called TopWire Hop Project, the beer garden built of a modified shipping container will feature a rotating list of craft beers, including exclusive collaborations with breweries including Russian River Brewing Company, Fort George Brewery and pFriem Family Brewers. 

Though primarily a drinking destination, there will be a limited food menu as well. Guests will have the chance to learn about hop-growing through daily farm tours.

TopWire Hop Project is projected to open this summer. 

Crosby Hop Farm, a fifth generation grower of hops in Woodburn, will launch TopWire Hop Project this summer. The tap list at the outdoor beer garden will feature brews made with the farm's own hops.
