Anyone have some good recommendations? I was looking at Farmhouse, one of our partners who I've used in the past and loved, but they are pretty thin on inventory right now. Grain to Glass seems to have quite a lot & decent pricing but thought I'd ask here before ordering anything. Mainly looking for citra, centennial, galaxy & nelson -which are somewhat harder to find

Online hop providers - preferably 1# increments
Grain to Glass's pricing looks pretty great. Another shop with decent pricing is Yakima Valley Hops ($5 flat rate shipping on up to 4 lbs), although I haven't ordered from them before.
Let us know your experience!
I have used Yakima Valley Hops...good dudes! Super fast shipping and very responsive to emails.

Evan, John at Farmhouse has lots of stuff in the freezer that he rations out (he's scared of runnng out of hops mid-season). If you have a specific need he will go into the stash and fill your need.

also surf over to Hops Direct : http://www.hopsdirect.com/store/

I shot John an email since everything I'm looking for is on his site (but unavailable) so we'll see how that works out. If not I can get it all through Grain to Glass but would prefer to use one of our partners. Thanks for the info James!
Cool - let me know what he's hiding in the secret stash :)
Best wishes,

I have had great experiences with hops direct.....great quality and price. I tried to get a partnership but no luck
Update: No response from John at Farmhouse & he hadn't added anything online so I went with Grain To Glass (www.graintoglasshomebrew.com) who had by far the best available selection versus any of the above mentioned. Ordered 1# of Centennial, Citra, & Nelson Sauvin but they also had some other good ones that are a little hard to find & all had decent prices.
I'll update this once i receive them to let everyone know how the order process went from GtoG.
I just put a order in Wednesday at From Grain to Glass in the late afternoon for a pound of Centennial and some other things...Got it today(Friday)....I would say excellent service...quick and prompt, got a email yesterday saying it had shipped via FedEx ground with tracking number....will order again for sure and has alot of hops in stock....
I ordered on Wed also & received it today, agree with everything Ed mentioned above. Their 1# bags (didn't order an 4 oz bags) are all Hop Union if anyone was wondering. They're located in a small town in NE Iowa so the shipping should always be pretty quick.
