If you’re like us, one of your favorite things to do on vacation is eat, drink, and be merry! There’s nothing like exploring a new destination full of tantalizing and tempting local flavors, creations, bites, and brews that make your taste buds dance and sing with delight. And our friends at the High Desert Food and Farm Alliance have put together a deliciously unique experience.

The High Desert Food Trail is a self-guided agricultural and culinary tour featuring 45 unique businesses throughout Central Oregon serving up inviting flavors, stunning views, and experiences you’ll never forget. From sipping an award-winning whiskey at Oregon Spirit Distillers, to grabbing a scrumptious farm-to-table lunch at Rockin’ Daves or Jackson’s Corner made with fresh ingredients from local farms to picking out fresh produce, meats, and artisan treats at Central Oregon Locavore and creating a to-go gourmet feast, the HDFT takes you on a culinary journey through this unique and awe-inspiring region.

The folks at High Desert Food & Farm Alliance support a healthy and thriving food and farm network in Central Oregon through education, collaboration, and inclusion and have put together the High Desert Food Trail to explore the area’s agricultural and culinary roots. By taking the HDFT journey and visiting all or just a few of the hard-working businesses, you too will support their important mission and the people of Central Oregon. And the best part, you can satisfy your cravings with local mouth-watering bites, brews, and sweets along the way; it’s a win-win!
