Good Lot Farmstead Brewing Co.

Gail and Phil established GoodLot Farm in 2009, returning to Gail’s hometown. We purchased the old Pinkney Family Farm (first established in 1839 on the 200 acres of what was known as Lot 18 back then).

We spent our first year researching a variety of specialty crops that would be suitable for our soil. As we were already keen explorers of craft beer, we soon determined that organic hop farming would be our pursuit.  After lots of study and education, in 2011 we established our first hop yard with 125 different plants (Cascade, Nugget, Mt Hood, Fuggle, Willamette, Golding). That same year we co-founded the Ontario Hop Growers Association with a bunch of other new hop growers.
