 \n<p>Beth is a food alchemist. &nbsp\;Before leaving her artist career and
  moving here from Ohio six years ago\, Beth studied up on desert gardening
 . On arrival\, she became the garden department manager at a local retaile
 r. &nbsp\;When her suggestions to stock climate appropriate plants went no
 where\, she started High &amp\; Dry Garden Works\, her own lab for propaga
 ting plants that can thrive with limited water\, excessive sun and wind\, 
 and deer. &nbsp\;Among the many things she grows are her own foodstuffs\, 
 which she now by magic makes into amazing new shapes and forms. If you cal
 l Beth\, prepare for a conversation that goes something like\, "Hold on a 
 sec\, I just discovered how to make dehydrated french fries and need to wr
 ite it down!"</p>\n<p><strong>School of Ranch</strong> is a Central Oregon
  based 501c3 nonprofit.&nbsp\; They hire experienced locals to teach pract
 ical homestead skills\, live and in person. &nbsp\;Beyond teaching skills 
 and creating paying gigs\, they help strengthen our community by providing
  common ground for people regardless of politics\, background\, age or bel
 iefs. Learn more by visiting their website at <a href="https://schoolofran
