Moving to the country in 1987 and cleaning up a small farmstead with the help of their four children, Rod and Jackie Hopken raised their
kids with good work ethics through this clean up process. Once the kids were in College, on their own or married we found ourselves
planting a three acre vineyard of French American hybrid and table grapes along with other fruits and raising honeybees. Now with the
help of our daughter and grandson we have a little gift shop, tours, picnics, kite flying, u-pick and lots of farm animals to play with.
Our busiest time of the year is spring and summer with new farm babies, pruning and getting ready for harvest. Harvest is an exciting
time where friends and family come to help. We have an all volunteer crew that come for the food, friends and fresh air and of course
the harvest party.
A part of history - South Fork Vineyard had the U.S. Parks & Recreation Department obtain GPS coordinates on our property, and with
these readings have proven that the Oregon Trail, California Trail and Pony Express once passed through our Vineyard. During our tours
you will be shown where these routes once were and they were located in this area so many years ago. You will have the opportunity to
see maps and a bit of history while on the tour.

Thoughts on America:
The greatest Nation in the World. Keep it local for buying, selling and spending. We have great products but people in large cities know nothing at all about any of this. |
