Top chefs, including executive chef Dana Zobs of Crested Butte’s Personal Chefs and chef and regenerative rancher Abby Knowles, prepare a feast with passed appetizers and a sit down dinner, showcasing regionally raised meat, local vegetables, and fresh fruits picked at the peak of summer. Artisan spirit makers, local brewers, and winemakers including Big B’s, Deerhammer, Distillery 291, and Buckel Family Wine mingle with guests while noshing on passed hors d’oeuvres and sampling small batch, regionally produced libations. Farmers and ranchers break away from harvest to join the party and share their story of local food and the land that sustains it. 150 locals, part-time residents, and visitors come together to celebrate the summer harvest and raise support for local food and hunger relief efforts.
