Midwest Hop Marketing Ideas Getting Creative

Hops produce a sedative and calming effect (cool man!)
Think farming business value-added ideas. Way added! Here is a fun diversified hop product I plan to reproduce (steal or copy per say) which I discovered on Etsy.com > Dream Pillows w/ Organic Lavender and Hops http://bit.ly/HopPillows
And Yet More Hop Creativity
- Wreaths - think grape wreaths, one more reason to use sisal twine vs. coire fiber twine.
- Rhizomes – on the 2nd 3rd or 4th year, a plant can produce as much as $150 per season just in root cuttings.
- Hop Pillows - Hops can produce sedative & calming effects – good for inducing sleep and treating insomnia.
- Personal Hygiene Products
Here are some more cool diversified hop product examples.
