outstanding in the field.....


Outstanding in the Field...
this august we (j & laina) had the opportunity to attend the culinary event known as outstanding in the field. Chef and artist, Jim Denevan and his band of foodie-aggies, brought their giant bus to Zephyros Farms in Paonia, CO, where we had a farm to table meal under the stars... well, it rained pretty hard, so we ended up in a greenhouse, but after just one glass of local wine follwed by a jar of fresh goats' milk provided by one of the local farmers sitting next to us, we forgot all about the rain.
being a small, family owned, local business ourselves, we have a deep appreciation for what these local farmers do for thier community and it was an honor to suport them and share in such a beautiful meal.

introducing Sukie...
if you hear what sounds like a 250 pound man snoring in our back room, don't worry, that's just our (not so) little 1 year old English Bulldog.
she's here with us on MWFs and we're working hard to make sure she doesn't "flying burrito" you when you walk into the store.
so far, we've only lost a few customers.
