Sunnyside sits at the center of the lower Yakima Valley, where dairy and irrigated field crops meet hops and wine grapes. Yakima County ranks first in Washington for milk from cows at $629.8 million in 2022 sales, and Darigold's Sunnyside plant processes millions of pounds of raw milk a day, drawing most of it from dairies within about 30 miles of town.
The surrounding ground carries a large share of the county's 32,488 acres of hops along with corn for silage, alfalfa, and wine grapes. Sunnyside lies inside the Yakima Valley AVA, Washington's oldest federally approved grape growing region, which holds close to a third of the state's planted vineyard acreage. All of it runs on Sunnyside Valley Irrigation District water.
Agnomy connects Sunnyside-area growers and dairies with verified local service providers who understand valley irrigation, forage and hop schedules, and nutrient management, making it easier to find, book, and manage the services your operation depends on.
