Founded in 1964, the Oregon Hop Commission (OHC) is dedicated to enhancing the Oregon hop industry by expanding opportunities for growth through research, education and promotion. In order to maintain economic stability of hop production in Oregon, the main objective of the OHC is to provide sufficient research through agricultural and financial evaluations. The commission is completely grower-funded and is facilitated by seven growers, one dealer/handler, and one public member. The continued success and progress of Oregon grown hops is a direct result of the efforts of the OHC.
The Oregon Hop Commission is accepting proposals for Administrative Services beginning August 01, 2025.
