It’s important to know where our food comes from. More than quality, we expect ecological sustainability and connection to community. That’s why Sodbuster Farms grows only the finest Pacific Northwest hops, responsibly harvested by farmers who have been perfecting the practice for generations.
The Willamette Valley of Oregon is our home, rich with hop growing history. The family farm is currently being operated by the fourth generation Erica and her husband Jake Lorentz. Together they plan to continue the legacy carried over from Erica’s parents, Doug and Audrey Weathers.
We’re committed to quality and environmentally-friendly practices—that’s why we are the largest hops farm in Oregon certified Salmon-Safe©. This ensures that our land will remain beautiful and productive into the future.
Local beer is important to us, that is why we grow more than fourteen different varieties of aromatic and bittering hops for the vibrant craft brew industry. We also contribute to more than twenty different regional “fresh hop” beers annually.
The next time you pick up your favorite brew made with hops from Sodbuster Farms, remember that it’s a product of generations of quality, sustainable farming practices, and a commitment to the community in which we grow.
