Lostine Lodge, Rural Eatery and Community Hub: Coming May 2014 to the Wallowa Valley in Northeastern Oregon, the Lostine Tavern will be much more than just a restaurant. The soon-to-be-refurbished historic site will serve as an eatery, community center, and gathering place for Lostine residents and visitors replete with old-timey pie socials and cookouts. Co-owners Lynne Curry and Peter Ferré are advocates of sustainably sourced rural foods eager to begin their biggest project yet. Donations to the team's ChangeFunder project will be amply rewarded with rural delectables from pickles to sandwiches, dinner parties, and initials branded into the reclaimed wood around the new bar. 125 Oregon 82, Lostine, Oregon
