Since 1868, the Carpenter family has been an integral component of the Yakima Valley hop industry. Their legacy began when Charles Carpenter departed from his hop growing family in New York, moved across the country and settled in the Yakima Valley, establishing the first hop farm in the Ahtanum area. Six generations later, Carpenter Ranches continues to be a family owned operation focusing on tradition and innovation. They are excited about the many new hop brands being developed by Yakima Chief Ranches and the Hop Breeding Company.
