On Saturday you will have the opportunity to visit and tour various Valley farms – Hillside Acres, Rain Crow Farm and Small Potatoes Farm – and wineries of the West Elks AVA. (You can learn about the farms and their locations here.) Then it’s off to savor mouth-watering, chef-prepared appetizers and wine at our local Paradise Theatre and watch The Greenhorns, a film about America’s young farmers and their dedication to growing food with vision and respect for the earth.  We’ll finish the evening at Fresh & Wyld for a great dinner prepared by Chef Dava Parr and Snowmass/Aspen Chef Tim Durand featuring wonderful local produce.

On Sunday we’ll start at the Paradise with a delectable continental breakfast and view Ingredients, a documentary about farmers and chefs who are creating a truly sustainable food system. Afterwards, we’ll have a Dava Parr-inspired brunch at Orchard Valley Farms with music provided by Mike Gwinn.
