We strive to increase opportunities for visitors and residents to connect with Eastern Oregon's working landscapes and enjoy our amazing local food, craft beverages, and events. EOVA’s work in Culinary and Agritourism has historically been focused on our five self-guided farm trails and one barn tour.
- Agritourism is farm and ranch-based: a traveler experiences a working agriculture landscape
- Culinary tourism is food-based: a traveler experiences authentic, local flavor
These two dimensions often overlap! For example: cooking classes offered on a working farm or a restaurant sourcing local product. That’s why we refer to them collectively as “Culinary and Agritourism”.
- Capture the customer engagement continuum: commodity -> product -> service -> experience
- Quarterly Calls: A virtual space for partners to share updates, highlight resources, and increase connectivity across our region.
- Local Food Directory: Compile an inventory of local food and beverage products available in Eastern Oregon.
We have also identified areas of interest for future projects. If you are interested in being involved in any of these, please reach out!
