The Farmer and The Chef

An interactive evening in the field benefiting Rock Bottom Ranch agricultural programs
 

On Wednesday, August 7, 2019, join fellow neighbors, environmental stewards, and local food leaders as part of ACES’ 50th anniversary celebrations. ACES at Rock Bottom Ranch is introducing an interactive, informative, and incomparable summer benefit. Bring your boots and get ready to explore RBR during our summer benefit.  Experience regenerative agriculture first hand while tasting small plates on the farm.  Over a dozen local chefs will be creating bites straight from the garden, complemented by libations and interactive farm stations.
