Central Oregon Locavore nonprofit is delighted to announce the return of their much loved Meet Your Farmer Dinner series, which was paused in 2020 due to the COVID pandemic. Meet Your Farmer Dinners are a series of experiential dining experiences that pair the farmers and chefs of rotating local restaurants. The chosen chef prepares the meal using as many of the featured farmer’s products as possible, supplemented by other local ingredients. Diners are treated to a presentation from the featured farmer about his or her farm and the products that were used during the lovingly prepared meal. This program builds farm to chef relationships.
We are resuming our series with a bang and have paired Terrebone ranch, DD Ranch, with Chef Isaac Bonnaventure and team at one of Bend’s newest high end restaurants, Nome Italiano. Chef Isaac and his team have prepared a culinary masterpiece of a menu also featuring Deschutes Gourmet Mushrooms to be paired with fine wines from Richochet Wines.
