“Join Deschutes River Conservancy and High Desert Food and Farm Alliance for a tour of Fields Farm, a small, family-run, urban farm in East Bend.
For over 40 years, water drawn from the Deschutes River has sustained this farm as the city grew around it. We'll trace the water's path from river to field, learn about river impacts, see how water is used to grow vegetables in Central Oregon, and talk through the challenges of balancing flow restoration and farming through a growing city and a changing climate.
Speakers include:
Jim Fields, Farm Owner, Fields Farm
Jeremy Fox, Farm Manager, Fields Farm
Lisa Seales, Senior Programs Manager, Deschutes River Conservancy
James Faughnan, Small Farms Coordinator, High Desert Food and Farm Alliance”
