Our Response to COVID-19

The impact of COVID-19 has shined a spotlight on farming as one of the most essential industries in the country and across the globe. The safety of America’s food supply continues to be among the most trusted and reliable in the world.

Here at Threemile we couldn’t be more serious about food production during these difficult times. We’ve implemented measures on the farm and throughout the supply chain to protect our workforce, the public health, and the food supply.

Covid-19 Vaccination Update 

  • Through our close relationship with the United Farm Workers, we are working together to provide Covid-19 vaccination information for our team members.
  • Vaccine appointments will be available in Hermiston and Boardman during evening hours and on Sundays, starting on March 29, 2021 at the latest.
