About Hukins Hops
For over 100 years we have been growing British hop garlands on the unique ‘terroir’ in the Weald of Kent. Our focus on quality and care for our environment allows our hops to reflect the rich heritage of the Kent countryside.
Our varieties include intense apricot from Ernest, oranges from Bullion and the classic English flavours of Fuggle, Golding’s and Challenger amongst others. We also supply ‘green’ fresh hop cones for seasonal green beers during harvest time.
We use our hops to supply craft beer producers, home brewers and as wonderful floral decorations.
