High Desert Food and Farm Alliance releasing 2020 Food and Farm Directory

BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) -- The High Desert Food and Farm Alliance is releasing its widely anticipated 2020 Food and Farm Directory this Friday.

HDFFA’s 9th Annual Food & Farm Directory provides an easy-to-use guide connecting Central Oregonians with the area's most comprehensive list of food that is grown, raised and produced in our region.

HDFFA’s annual flagship publication features local family farmers, ranchers and business partners who are committed to growing, purchasing, and providing our community with local food in the high desert.

Use the Food & Farm Directory to discover and support over 120 farmers, ranchers, and food businesses, explore regional farmers markets, learn about accessing local food and the importance of our local food system, get tips for eating seasonally, and more! Look for the identifying “2020 HDFFA Partner” sticker at your favorite local spots. These stickers are a sign that this local food partner is in the Directory.

“HDFFA is incredibly proud to partner with and highlight the farmers, ranchers and food businesses that are the backbone of our local food system. We believe that everyone deserves access to fresh local food, and we help make that happen with resources like this year’s Food & Farm Directory: it is the perfect guide to begin or advance your steps in making local a priority and resource for all.” – Carrie Mack, HDFFA Community Engagement Manager

The directory is FREE, and can be found first in the June 12th edition of The Bulletin this Friday. Look for a copy of the directory throughout the year in many public spaces, farmers markets and at HDFFA partner businesses. An online edition of the directory can also be found at hdffa.org under “Find Local Food.” If you have questions about how to become an HDFFA listed partner or how to get a copy of this year’s directory, contact Carrie Mack (carrie@hdffa.org).
