At Charles Faram, our connection to quality brewing ingredients begins at the source — the hop farms. We work closely with a trusted network of growers across the UK and around the world to supply fresh, consistent, and innovative hop varieties to brewers of all sizes.
Our deep-rooted relationships with these farms ensure traceability, sustainability, and premium quality from field to brew house.
We source from established and emerging hop farms in:
The United Kingdom – Home to traditional and modern varieties like Fuggles, Goldings, Jester®, and Harlequin®
United States – Iconic regions like Yakima and the Pacific Northwest producing Citra®, Mosaic®, and Simcoe®
Germany and the Czech Republic – Origin of noble hops such as Saaz and Hallertau
New Zealand and Australia – Unique terroir delivering tropical-forward hops like Nelson Sauvin and Galaxy®
Each farm is selected for its expertise, growing conditions, and commitment to quality — allowing us to offer a diverse and dynamic hop portfolio.
As one of the few hop merchants still active in U.K. breeding and growing, we’re passionate about supporting British hop farms. Our work with local growers includes:
Long-term contracts to ensure farm sustainability
Investment in new hop varieties through our UK breeding programme
Promotion of British-grown hops to brewers worldwide
Our own proprietary varieties — such as Godiva®, Olicana®, and Jester® — are proudly cultivated on UK farms, offering flavour-forward options with a reduced carbon footprint.
By maintaining close relationships with our hop farms, we can:
Guarantee freshness and consistency
Ensure sustainability and transparency in sourcing
