Fresh Hops Vine Garland, 8 ft.

Every fall, the hop farms in Oregon cut their vines down at harvest. These are those vines: long, wild, and heavy with papery green cones, the kind of thing you'd usually only see hanging in a barn or a farm-to-table restaurant.

Each garland is about 8 feet of real hops vine, cut by hand from an Oregon farm. Drape one over a front door, run it down the center of a harvest table, wind it along a mantel or a staircase, or hang it over a bar cart. One vine makes a statement. Two or three frame a whole doorway like the one in the photo.

It changes as it dries, and that's the beauty of it. Your garland arrives green and fresh-smelling. Over a few weeks it dries in place to a soft golden tan and keeps that color for the rest of the season. Some cones will fall as it dries. Just sweep them up or scatter them on the table.

Good to know:

• About 8 feet long. Every vine is grown, not made, so fullness and length vary a little.
• Overnight Shipping ($625) is included and ships directly from our grower in Oregon to western states only: Washington, Oregon, California, Idaho, Nevada, Arizona, Utah, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, and New Mexico.
• Local Delivery ($425) is free within Orange County.
• Hang it out of direct sun and away from heat to keep the color longest.
• Dried hops can shed. Set a runner or cloth under it on a table.
• Keep away from dogs. Hops are toxic to dogs if eaten, including fallen cones.
• Seasonal and harvested in limited quantities.
