Billy Goat Hop Farm in Montrose, Colorado, is expanding access to the public with tours, events, and a campground to promote hop cultivation awareness. Operating on 32 acres, the farm grows various hop varietals and hopes to engage people in the agricultural process that underpins the beer industry, particularly as independent farms fade. Co-owner Audrey Gehlhausen aims to create a family-friendly environment that highlights the importance of local agriculture, amidst challenges faced by smaller farms.
"By opening the farm to the public, co-owner Audrey Gehlhausen hopes to provide a glimpse not just into a farm that is important to the beer industry, but to the agriculture industry as a whole."
"Creating a community space that's welcoming for kids and dogs will hopefully help bring awareness to agriculture, where the ingredients in your beer are coming from, and hopefully be a pivot that can help keep us alive."
