Coonhounds and beer aren’t our only loves..
This small hobby farm was formed by Chris & Alaina Schwall to facilitate selling their chicken eggs and sharing their interest in hobby homesteading. The name Hops ‘n’ Hounds comes from their love of craft beer and coonhounds. Avid samplers of craft beer, they started to dabble in brewing their own. In 2019, they began fostering dogs for coonhound rescues, inspired by their beloved coonhound, Juniper. It’s never boring here on Hops ‘n’ Hounds Farm!

Coonies

Beer
After starting with beer brewing kits in 2018, we started making up our own recipes and flavors with creative friends. We’ve started to grow our own hops to further our delicious experimentation!

Every year our vegetable garden and herb garden produce something new, and bring about new challenges! Alaina hopes to continue to raise local butterfly species as well.
