The Crump Ranch is operated by third generation family owners JoAnn Crump Stabb and her husband, Ed Stabb, and their two sons, Charlie and Peter. JoAnn is the granddaughter of Tom and Johanna Crump who homesteaded the ranch in 1888.
Our grandparents homesteaded the original Crump Ranch in 1888 in Warner Valley (Lake County) on the shores of “Christmas Lake”, later renamed “Crump Lake”. In 1900, they purchased additional acreage in Adel, Oregon and moved four miles south to the current ranch headquarters location. Ed & JoAnn Stabb have continued to restore and improve the ranch, and are currently growing over 2,000 acreas of alfalfa, barley, oats and peas, and a meadow hay crop. Additionally, they operate a commercial and registered Angus cow-calf herd of over 500 head.
