Truck loads of memory making opportunities!

How do we bring together our food and beverage community and strengthen our local food system? In March of 2020, in the midst of a pandemic, we decided to explore turning a moment into a movement. We realized that we needed to work together to create real change, however, something was missing.

We’ve been fighting against the current since 1948 to bring you the finest hops and onions western Idaho has to offer. Following the example of our founder Ray Obendorf — who started farming back in 1937 as a sophomore in high school — we have persevered for over 70 years by walking the fields to ensure good stewardship with the land. As the third generation of our family-owned farm follows in our grandfather’s footsteps our operation has grown to include over 3,000 acres of hops, 1200 acres of row crops and 800 head of cattle. Grow together with us as we continue our family tradition of hard work and respect for the land that provides our fruitful crop year after year.

We were founded to make a difference. The University of Idaho's role in the state's economic prosperity dates back to our inception. Our research-driven, innovative spirit began in agriculture, engineering and military sciences. We continue this tradition today, making an impact on all areas of industry. From providing a high-quality, accessible education — to leading breakthroughs in clean water, cybersecurity, healthcare, agronomics and fire science — we forge partnerships to improve the lives of all Idahoans.
