Family owned and operated since 1996:
El Dorado was developed by CLS Farms and formally released in the fall of 2010; CLS farms is a multi-generational, medium sized, family hop farm located in the Moxee Valley of Washington State.

The Moxee Valley is a sub-growing district of the Yakima Valley and has a slightly cooler climate and is located in the northern part of the Yakima Valley. Due to its cooler temperatures, outstanding aroma crops are grown there. Another unique characteristic of the Moxee Valley is the extremely high density of hop yards.

In fact, in the Moxee Valley it is almostimpossible to avoid driving by a hop yard and all the main commercial varieties are produced there.
