I've never had dreams/ambitions of going pro. My goal as a home hop grower was to produce more hops than I can use, therefore my hops are essentially free and bountiful.
I was chatting with the owner of the local homebrew store and he asked me what my plans are for my extra hops. I said, "I'll store what I can, eventually I'll probably start not harvesting, or maybe just give them away."
Then he asked me if I know what the laws are concerning selling hops to him for his store. I said, "I have no idea!"
I personally think as a 1st year/2nd year grower that my yield isn't going to be so large that I'll have the luxury to even consider this, but I could see my 3rd year and forward a senario where I'll have hops to spare.
Any comments, thoughts, advice, whatever.
Again, this isn't something I planned or even plan on doing. I was approached, but having been asked the question now I'm curious what the logistics might be.
All comments are appreciated.
