About the Brand
---------------
Hidden Valley Original Ranch dressing was developed by a real
rancher at a real ranch--the Hidden Valley Guest Ranch near Santa
Barbara, California. In the late '50s and early '60s, Steve and
Gayle Henson's 120-acre spread was a dude ranch favored by
weekend visitors, among them boisterous University of California
at Santa Barbara students who flocked to the ranch for parties.
Hidden Valley Ranch in those days was lively and loud, described
by a former ranch hand as part nightclub, part motel, and part
dude ranch. Guests brought with them huge appetites and Gayle
often cooked up to 300 steaks an evening.
The ranch menu often included salad, topped by a dressing that
Steve had be developing during his years living in Alaska. It
blended a dry mix of s and spices--the original dressing came
in dry mix form only--with mayonnaise and buttermilk into a
creamy consistency. In Alaska, Henson served earlier versions of
the dressing to rough-and-tumble workers looking for something to
make lettuce taste better. In California, Henson further tweaked
his formula and used it to please his many guests' more refined
palates. Hidden Valley patrons loved the dressing. Many guests
took the dressing home in glass jars Henson gave them. Others
urged Henson to market the concoction. When a visitor from Hawaii
pressed Henson for a batch to take back to the islands for a
large party the guest would be hosting in Oahu, Henson knew he
was on to something big. "I didn't have anywhere near the 300 or
so jars he needed to take all that dressing with him, so I told
him to give me a few hours while I prepackaged a bunch of
envelopes with my mixture," Henson recalls. "I told him how to
use the mix to make the dressing when he got back to Hawaii. He
called a few days later wanting more. He said everyone had gone
wild over the thing."
Encouraged by the comments of his Hawaiian guest, Henson
developed a more exact formula for the powdered mixture and
started marketing the dressing. Soon, orders were pouring in from
all over the country. In the beginning, he packaged it himself.
Within months, 12 people were helping him mix the dressing in the
main house at Hidden Valley. Eventually, the Hidden Valley Ranch
was converted almost entirely into a salad dressing packing
center. The new enterprise was named Hidden Valley Ranch Food
Products, Inc.
Soon, Henson decided to expand the Hidden Valley product line.
The mail-order enterprise that had be so humbly now reached
more than 30 foreign countries. Henson found it necessary to move
his operation from the ranch after learning that the vans needed
to ship the dry mixture had problems on the narrow roads leading
into Hidden Valley. Meeting demand for the dressing became easier
after Henson had a machine developed that was capable of filling
thousands of envelopes in less than an hour. In 1971, the
operation was moved to larger quarters in Sparks, Nev. The next
year, the Henson family sold the salad dressing business to the
HVR Company (later renamed the HV Food Products Company).
