Global GAP is a strict certification that requires growers to adhere to specific programs and procedures that ensure food safety. We grow 12 different commercial varieties and 10–12 experimental varieties, depending on the season.” “We run three different picking facilities at the farm, with drying and baling as well. “We have about 2,000 acres, which makes us the 5th or 6th largest hop farm in the area,” Sechser said. Today, HAAS continues to operate one of the larger farms in the area. HAAS has been growing the finest hops in Washington’s Yakima Valley for more than 100 years. “It also underscores our commitment to sustainable farming practices that are so important to our industry-and to future generations.” “We’re very proud of this certification because it reflects the quality practices we’ve long held as core to our operations at HAAS Yakima Golding Farm,” Mark Sechser, Farm Manager for HAAS recently told us. Haas is proud to announce that HAAS’ own Yakima Golding Farm was recently awarded the Global GAP Certification, the worldwide standard for good agricultural practices. And while “quality” can be a subjective term, many brewers agree-HAAS hops are a cut above. In today’s market, few ingredients are as important to beer as hops. Ask any brewer and they’ll tell you straight: the quality of your beer directly depends upon the quality of your ingredients. ![]()
