partner perspectives

“The High Desert Food & Farm Alliance purchased fresh, delicious produce from Around the Bend Farms for use in our Warm Springs Fresh Harvest Kit and VeggieRx programs in 2024 and 2025.

We deeply appreciate ATBF’s willingness to collaborate with HDFFA and tribal members to grow culturally appropriate foods that truly support our programming. Their produce strengthened our food access work and helped us provide nourishing, meaningful food to the people we serve.”

— High Desert Food and Farm Alliance

“Our experience with Around the Bend Farms has been incredible..  They grow fresh produce to share with The Giving Plate and other non-profits.

The ATBF team has been truly amazing to work with and it shows in the work they are doing to support our neighbors in need.”

ways to partner

Our partnership model is intentionally flexible, allowing organizations to align their philanthropic goals with high-impact community outcomes.

Partnerships may support or collaborate on:

  • Program delivery or co-hosted initiatives

  • Food distribution and access points

  • Education, workforce development, or research collaboration

  • Shared funding or grant-based projects

  • Collaboration on program development

  • Cross-promotion on social media platforms

Each partnership begins with a conversation and evolves through shared priorities and calls to action.

sponsorship models

Sponsors are individuals, businesses, or organizations that provide financial or in-kind support to advance the farm’s mission, programs, and long-term sustainability that are re-occurring.

  • On-going monetary contributions 

  • In-kind donations (on-going equipment, supplies, or professional services)

  • Programmatic or event-specific underwriting

  • Farming infrastructure or capital support

We work collaboratively to define scope, visibility, and outcomes in a way that feels authentic, practical, and aligned with each partner’s mission.

corporate engagement

In addition to sponsorship, we offer opportunities for deeper organizational engagement.

Corporate partners may participate through:

  • Employee volunteer opportunities

  • Hands-on involvement in growing or harvesting activities

  • Educational experiences connected to local food systems and sustainability

  • Engagement tied to sponsored projects or initiatives

These experiences create connection, shared purpose, and a clear link between organizational support and community impact.

Geographic Focus & Reach

Our work is rooted in Central Oregon.

Currently, we grow and distribute fresh, locally produced food across Deschutes County, Jefferson County, and in partnership with the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs. Programs are designed to reflect regional needs, growing conditions, and community priorities.
