Apparently there's a few places over in Asheville, NC that have successfully grown all organic hops. Other than that, I don't know of many places on the east coast that grow it, at all.

I imagine that if you wanted enough harvestable hops to actually brew beer you're taking up a lot of space. Being in Mass, if you were to invest in grow-house equipment then you could create the correct environment to grow small amounts of different strains making sure to keep them separate (or hybridize them if you're crazy) and piss off the DEA in the process.
That's definitely for advanced brewers only. That's about the point where you have a few 10-25 gallon tanks sitting in your basement or something. Just buy the stuff because it's cheap.
