To those who work tirelessly as stewards of working landscapes, the High Desert Food and Farm Alliance works for you. Program Director Meiko Lunetta (top center) walks and talks with fifth generation rancher Ron Miller and a family friend ranch hand. Vaquero Valley Ranch and Cattle Company - Prineville, OR.

Happy cows make tasty cheese. Cada Dia Cheese is of the highest quality because “the milk goes straight from cow to kettle,” says Char the Dairy Queen - Prineville, OR.

Making a cheesy squash bake for a potluck and decided to drink a beer instead of holler at my children. #hdffa #tastecentraloregon #andalittlebitofShinerTexas

@roryoneders caught me making me food (@juniperjunglefarm yellow zucchini!) with Elvis the gecko on my shoulder and @cyclicalnature in my ear. #TasteCentralOregon #HDFFA

I'm excited about the photo challenge that the High Desert Food & Farm Alliance is hosting: The August Central Oregon Local Food Challenge. I made #pesto to put up for the winter using basil, carrot tops, and garlic all grown here in Central Oregon. #TasteCentralOregon #HDFFA
