Help Us Raise the Deschutes

Flows and Farms in a Changing Landscape

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.

Meet at Fields Farm at 4pm on Wednesday 8/19: 61915 Pettigrew Rd, Bend, OR 97702

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

Notes: Tour will begin promptly at 4 pm. Please make sure to arrive on time. Check the weather and plan to wear closed toe shoes and appropriate clothing. Please remember to bring a water bottle.
