Community Education

We encourage Central Oregonians to deepen their connection to local food through education and community engagement. From publishing the annual Central Oregon Local Food Guide to offering cooking classes, hosting farm-to-table dinners, and promoting agritourism through the High Desert Food Trail, we bring the food system to life, making it accessible, practical, and meaningful for people across the region.

The Local Food Guide

Your Guide to Local Food

HDFFA is founded on the belief that local food should be accessible to everyone and that our food connects us to each other. We aspire to enhance the demand for and appreciation of local food, savoring every moment when food tastes better simply because it is locally sourced.
