Loftus Ranches Hop Farm in Photographs
Name: Loftus Ranches Hop Farm
Location:1209 Morrier Lane, Yakima, WA
Date of Visit: September 2013
Brief Description: Loftus Ranches is a family-run farm growing hops, apples, and Devon cattle in the Yakima Valley. The Washington State Hop industry, nestled at the base of the Cascade mountain range in the Yakima Valley, is home to one of the most fertile and productive growing regions in the World. We are rapidly approaching hop harvest season so I decided to post some photographs from visiting in 2013. You can read a more comprehensive post I made about my visit to Loftus Ranches and see more photos and a few videos by clicking here.
