I have been raising hay since 1996 on our farm/ranch in Sisters. Most of the time we have used cattle from Norton Cattle Company in Madras for training horses. When I called Tom Norton and told him I wanted to do grass fed beef his first thought was I had lost my mind. When I told him the plan with The Odem he quickly changed his mind and sourced out some steers.
So here we go. March 1st we rolled out our grass fed beef. We have our own hormone free, antibiotic free beef processed by Oregon Beef in Madras. Walda said that the steaks would have graded out to choice. I told him I wanted to process the whole animal, all the primal cuts, into burger for the Odem. So there it is. We have taken it up a notch and will be serving the best burger you can find anywhere at any price.

In September of 1929, the month before the stock market crashed, Milton and Fossie Odem Purchased the Mayfair Theater next to the New Redmond Hotel. In 1937 he purchased the old Mannheimer’s building that had been home to a dry goods store that closed during the great depression and with the help of architect, D. Walter Hillborn, he opened The Odem. In 1947 he remodeled the Odem and built a large blade sign, which stood over the Odem until it was decommissioned as a theater in the 70’s. During the demolition of the old boiler and heating equipment we found 4 dusty old letters. We moved them out of the way and later that night my son Evan moved them around and we then realized we had our first treasure. With the help of Carlson Sign we made our sign out of the original letters that had not been displayed for over 70 years. Yeah, pretty darn cool!
