Cattail Creek Farmer's Dinner and The Deschutes........

Very cool 48 hours.

We had our second Farmer's Dinner last night. Sold out, John Neumister of Cattail was our featured producer along with Dan and BShaw of Columbia Gorge Organic Mushroom......

Off the chart.

Here's my table of Guests (Well, Family and Supporters)



And a Shot of the Entree. Lamb Three ways.

Some Prep, Introducing Luke Nance, our Kitchen understudy (Welcome Luke!)



The Next day, Julie cornered me and made me take here out on some property touring because now I'm so busy that the only time we get to talk is in the car to and from. She's a former assistant who is now the ED of the Farmer's Conservation Alliance, a group I'm dedicating alot of brianpower to. It makes what was once a quiet relaxing drive to a distant property to tour into a full blown brain drain..........



Turns out the guy is very conservation minded and was one of the first people to lease his water rights back to conservation groups. Made for instant connections.

It was a nice property on the Deschutes!
