Representative Darin Harbick

Representative Darin Harbick (HD12) is a native Oregonian who was raised along the McKenzie River by parents who instilled Christian values, modeled work ethics, and taught the value of family, friends, and community. He married his high-school sweetheart, Kail, at the age of 20. Together they raised three children and now enjoy five grandchildren. The Harbicks have built, purchased, and founded several businesses in the upper McKenzie Valley. While managing their businesses Darin served fourteen years on the McKenzie School Board, the Lane County Tourism Board, and coached high school and college women’s basketball. Darin’s entrepreneurship career began when he purchased Phil’s Phine Phoods in 1991 and shortly after built Harbick’s Country Store which he owned for 20 years. A decade later he built Takoda’s Restaurant which he sold in 2023 to his daughter, Taya, and her husband, Daniel. In 2024 he sold Harbick’s Inc., a logging and dump truck business to his son Trey. The Harbick’s most rewarding business is their two-faith based residential treatment homes which serves people with mental illness.
