The Hop Yard Field Day will take place at the AIF Farm located at 13737 Middleton Pike, Bowling Green, between 10 a.m. and 2 pm.

Participants will have an opportunity to learn about:
· Establishing a hop yard

The in-ground Hop Yard Demonstration Site was installed by the AIF Farm and is managed by the Glass City Mashers. The mission of the Agricultural Incubator Foundation (AIF) is to develop a partnership of northwest Ohio agribusiness representatives, researchers and educators committed to establishing programs that will stimulate interest in and respect for agriculture as a mainstay in the area economy.
