Welcome to Nestucca Valley Sporting Goods...

Our passion, your adventure.

Nestled in the heart of Hebo, Oregon, Nestucca Valley Sporting Goods is more than just a store...

It’s a celebration of the wild, untamed beauty of the Pacific Northwest.  It's also a testament to a love story that’s been thriving for over two decades. 

Owned and operated by JR and Vy, a couple whose hearts beat for the outdoors and the joy of community.

Our Hebo deli and sporting goods store is a haven for adventurers, anglers, and anyone who feels the call of the ocean, rivers, and lakes here on the Oregon coast.


Looking north... the mouth of our Nestucca River is just on the other side of the rocks.  This beautiful beach is a short distance from our store...

Our Story: A Legacy of Love and Adventure

For 20 years, JR and Vy have been partners in life and in passion, building a life rooted in their shared love for the great outdoors.  JR’s journey began as a young boy, clutching a fishing rod with wide-eyed wonder, casting lines into the shimmering waters of Oregon’s rivers and lakes.

That spark of joy grew into a lifelong devotion to fishing, a craft he now shares with every customer who walks through our sporting goods and deli doors. Whether it’s the thrill of reeling in a steelhead or the quiet serenity...

...of a morning on the Nestucca River, JR’s passion for angling is contagious.


Vy, on the other hand, brings warmth and heart to everything she touches.  Her love for serving people good Hebo homemade food is legendary within the Hobbs family...

Our Site is Under Construction

We're roll'in up our sleeves and finally building a Website for our Hebo Deli and Sporting Goods Business!  We thought it would be a great idea to go live asap instead of...

...waiting until the final completion date.  We're designing as we go along...

If there's something that you don't like (format, color, links like the few below, image size, etc.), chances are we're aware of it and...

...it'll get adjusted as we progress.  Additionally...we've got tons of our own photos... no stock images allowed here!

We know you'll like the final product...

With a smile that lights up the room and a knack for creating dishes that comfort the soul, Vy believes that food is more than sustenance... it’s a way to bring people together, to share stories, and to create memories.

At Nestucca Valley Sporting Goods, Vy’s hospitality shines, making every visitor feel like family.


Together, JR and Vy dreamed of a place where their passions could intertwine... a Hebo store that not only equips adventurers with the best gear...

But also fosters a sense of community and connection to the land.

In 2025, that dream became reality with the opening of Nestucca Valley Sporting Goods.  It's named after the majestic Nestucca River that flows through our region, a symbol of the lifeblood of our outdoor heritage.

The History of Our Hebo Deli and Sporting Goods


The seeds for Nestucca Valley Sporting Goods and Deli were planted long before its doors opened.  Growing up in Southern Oregon, JR spent countless hours exploring the rugged riverbanks...

Hiking through lush forests and fishing the pristine waters Oregon has to offer.  His deep connection to the land and water inspired him to share his knowledge and love for the outdoors with others.

Meanwhile, Vy’s roots in hospitality and her joy in bringing people together through food gave her a vision for a space where community could thrive.

In the early 2000s, JR and Vy began their life together hosting family cookouts, camping, fishing. They also shared their expertise and homemade meals with friends and neighbors.





These gatherings became the heart of what would eventually become Nestucca Valley Sporting Goods 2.0.  The couple realized they could turn their passion into something bigger... a Hebo store that would serve as a hub for outdoor enthusiasts...

A beacon for those seeking adventure, and a staple for a great home-cooked Hebo meal...
