Taste this!- Rainshadow Organics

Sustainable organic farming is no easy task here in the High Desert, but Rainshadow Organic Farms has been doing it here in Central Oregon for three generations. In this week’s Taste This! Donna Britt takes us out to Sisters to see how this little family farm is keeping their farming traditions alive.

A big thanks to Newport Avenue Market for giving us the resources to take these weekly culinary adventures.

Life is short, eat good food, and have fun doing it!
