The High Desert Food & Farm Alliance (HDFFA) is proud to recognize food businesses going above and beyond through local food sourcing and contributions to our Central Oregon community. HDFFA considers local food to be food grown, raised and crafted in the Central Oregon’s tri-county region of Crook, Deschutes and Jefferson County. HDFFA Farm and Ranch Partners voted for food businesses that purchase products regularly from them and the result is this award. Please join us in congratulating their top picks and our 2020 Local Food

Champions – the winners are:

Grocer: Central Oregon Locavore
Restaurants: Jackson’s Corner & Wild Oregon Foods
Food Truck: Boone Dog Pizza
Specialty Food Items: Busy Izzy Foods

Our goal is to encourage local consumers to thoughtfully consider the sources of their food, as well as the steps it takes to get it to the market and onto their plates. Try purchasing local products from these outstanding local food businesses. Use our Annual Food & Farm Directory as your guide to connect directly with our network of high desert agricultural producers and food businesses and get a taste of Central Oregon!
