Puterbaugh Farms is a fourth generation hop farming family that has been growing hops in the fertile Yakima Valley of Washington State since the 1930’s. The family forefathers migrated from France to Canada, and then made the move to the present farm site in Mabton, Washington.

Today Stacy, along with his family, works the 700 acre farm.  Of those 700 acres, 600 acres are dedicated to hops, with the remaining acres growing apples, grapes, raspberries, corn & pumpkins.  We take pride in knowing that four generations have worked to grow and harvest only the highest quality crops, which is why we currently grow 13 different hop varieties and are always expanding and looking towards the future.

And know that as hop growers, we provide hops that are dried at precise temperatures and handled with care.  Our hops are kept on the farm in cold storage year-round shipping and processing.  The Hops Direct stencil on your bale is our guarantee that you are receiving the highest quality hops straight from the family here at Puterbaugh Farms to you and yours.

Visitors are always welcome but please call or email us prior to your visit to make arrangements. Our farm season begins in March with tractors discing the hop yards. We twine the hop fields the first part of April, then begin to train the young vines in May. Hops bloom in mid-June, a time when mother nature plays a major role in the ultimate hop quality. Irrigation and cultivation continue throughout the summer until we begin harvest, which starts in mid-August and lasts about 42 days. During harvest is the best time to visit; as there is so much to see and keeps us hopping around like crazy.
