Central Oregon is rooted in endeavors that involve a deep connection and reliance on the land. Our adventure will have us focused on Rainshadow Organics and how a small Central Oregon farm survives and thrives on land that sees less than 12 inches of rain per year among other challenges. Starting our morning at Smith Rock State Park, we will garner an understanding of Central Oregon’s rugged ecosystem before immersing ourselves in a celebration of flavor and a labor of love with a tour and awe-inspiring, freshly harvested meal at Rainshadow Organics!
