Why the name Hop Pickers?
A Glimpse Into Pigeon House Farm's History
Pigeon House Farm was a lively hub for hop picking from the 1930s to the 1960s. Families from the Black Country traveled by train and horse-drawn cart to spend four weeks harvesting hops—a mix of hard work and joyful holiday spirit. Living in whitewashed barns or tin huts, they created lasting memories, shared stories, and embraced the simplicity of rural life.
