She enjoys making art, dancing, and experimenting in the kitchen—both with and without recipes. Christine Boyle’s writing invites readers to pay attention to the beauty and abundance of local food in Central Oregon, cultivating a sense of place through seasonality and cultural context. She draws from her experience as a farmer, herbalist, and food access and agricultural support coordinator for the High Desert Food & Farm Alliance. Cait Pearson is a Bend-based photographer, writer, and storyteller specializing in editorial food and lifestyle imagery. Her work blends documentary-style storytelling with an eye for atmosphere, human connection, and the small details that make a place feel alive. Arian Stevens grew up in the foothills between Yosemite and Tahoe, surrounded by the beauty of the outdoors. It wasn’t until his freshman year of college that he discovered his passion for photography. Fast forward a couple of decades and he’s now living in Bend, where he’s constantly inspired by endless photo opportunities in every direction. Megan Westerberg is a writer, recipe developer, and sustainable agriculture professional focused on resilient food systems. When she isn’t tending her homestead, she can be found volunteering at local farms and learning about the unique challenges of high desert cultivation. Brian Yaeger is the author of Oregon Breweries and Red, White, and Brew: An American Beer Odyssey and contributed to The Oxford Companion to Beer. He earned a Master of Professional Writing degree (with a thesis on beer) from USC. When not writing about beer, Yaeger organizes large and tiny brewfests including Bend Brews & Beyond.
