More details coming soon.
We will be launching our new print food guide and celebrating local food and farms.
Roots So Deep Film Screening
Join HDFFA & Oregon Pasture Network for a screening of selected material from the Roots So Deep documentary series – where farmers, ranchers, and scientists team up to explore whether changing the way we graze cattle could help heal the land; and maybe even combat climate change. Follow their journeys across fences, fields, and generations to see if this bold approach can turn ranching into a surprising climate solution.
Special Guest Speaker: Jeanne Carver, rancher and founder of Imperial Stock Ranch and Shaniko Wool Company. Her decades-long commitment to sustainable grazing has inspired and transformed both American ranching and the global wool industry. Most recently, Jeanne has received recognition for supplying sustainably sourced Merino wool for Ralph Lauren's official Team USA uniforms for the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympics.
Dinner will be catered by Spork.
If you are interested in farming, ranching, and exploring potential solutions to climate change, this is an event you do not want to miss!
Date: May 19, 2026
Time: Doors open at 5:00 PM for a light dinner; programming will begin promptly at 5:30 PM

Cover Cropping on Diversified Small Farm Production Systems
This event is not open to the public. Registration is required.
Join us at Sungrounded Farm for a Women for the Land Learning Circle, offered in partnership with the High Desert Food & Farm Alliance and American Farmland Trust in Terrebonne, Oregon.
This hands-on, peer learning gathering is designed for women and non-binary farmers and farm workers who want to deepen their knowledge, build community, and share practical strategies for cover cropping success in Central Oregon's high desert climate.
Together, we'll explore how to integrate cover cropping into high-intensity, diversified small-farm systems with a focus on arid climates. Farmers Ashley and Caleb will share their experience developing a cover cropping system that boosts organic matter, suppresses weeds, reduces tillage, and strengthens soil biology. See their methods in action and connect with other growers prioritizing soil health while managing tight cropping rotations in sandy soils.
A locally-sourced catered lunch will be provided. Registration is required.
For questions and/or accommodation requests, please contact Carly Boyer at cboyer@farmland.org
