    Hello all,

    So I'm in somewhat of a unique situation. My fiancee and I are getting married in august and are planning to use hops (on the vine) in our flowers, bouquets, etc.

    We won't need too much but I'm looking for a source to buy some lengths of hop vines with the whole cones attached. Any help is much appreciated. If you know of a source, let me know here please or BM me and we can work something out.

    Thanks!

    I was going to murder mine, but I can hold off on some or all depending how much you need.

    Great idea! I thought of doing boutonnieres with hops, but my wife is not at the level of beer enthusiasm as I am :slight_smile:

    Did this one* get mentioned, yet?

    *There must be at least a couple of new smaller Minnesota hops farms, in addition to the hundreds of home-grown operations in the homebrew community.

    So, reading the hop growers site they mention hops production. If people used the word tomato like they use the word hop they would be embarrassed. For example, we are a tomatoes producer. No, you are a tomato producer or a hop producer, not a tomatoes or hops producer. It's rampant. Ugh!

    Hah! I didn't get that far in, actually. :wink: But now that I see that I can at least be thankful that they didn't go with the ever-popular apostrophe s after the letters h o p! :grimacing:

    We all know what those "tomatoes" producers are really producing...
