Each year says whether the brewery medaled. When it did not, the status says why there is nothing to count, including years before the brewery opened.
Each variety links to its page, with the farms that grow it.
A farm the brewery named is a direct statement in a beer profile. A farm that grows one of these hops is published as growing it, and it does not mean the beer used hops from that farm.
No beer profile of this brewery names a farm.
