CASTLE FARM FRESH HOP BINE

*SOLD OUT FOR 2023*

Our Fresh Hop Bine season has now finished for 2023, if you would like to order a Dried Hop Bine please click here.

Fresh Hop Bines from Castle Farm are used for decorating marquees, barns, churches and homes. They are versatile, cost-effective and beautifully coloured! 

All our Hop Bines (also known as hop vines or hop garlands) are grown specifically for decoration – we cultivate them at extra wide spacing to promote the growth of flowers along the length of the Hop Bine. The bines are cut to 2.5-3m (8-10ft) length and there are naturally more hops at one end of the bines. Once arranged in position – somewhere dry with good air-circulation – they will air-dry naturally – the flowers will open, and the leaves will curl, they will keep their colour and shape all year round.

The season for fresh hop bines is very short – only from mid-August to early-September – so be quick! 

Online prices are inclusive of UK delivery & are priced on a sliding scale (the more bines you order, the less they cost per bine).
