Lost Valley Farm owner Greg te Velde was one of six men, along with four women, nabbed during prostitution roundup Aug. 19.
Court documents show that te Velde, 59, responded to an online posting and went to the designated hotel room, where he was met by an undercover officer.
Officers claim te Velde had some meth when he was arrested.
He pleaded innocent this week in Benton County Superior Court to one felony charge of possession of meth. His trial is Nov. 13.
Te Velde is not currently charged in connection with the prostitution arrest.
The East Oregonian reported that Lost Valley Farm general manager Travis Love said in a written statement that the company takes the allegations seriously, but can’t comment. Te Velde could not be reached about the allegations.
Oregon regulators approved his 30,000-cow dairy farm in March, turning aside complaints from a coalition of health and environmental groups.
