A HOP FARM, KENT


Kent is famous for its hop farms and fields. At one time Kent had over thirty thousand acres of hop farms; the industry was vital to the local economy and employed thousands of people during harvest time. Nowadays a hop farm’s harvest is gathered with the use of a little more technology and the produce sold to the breweries. This photo was taken in the countryside near Maidstone.
