Our Food Ways...
local, regional, organic
Breakfast
Our food ways reflect regional and native influences locally sourced wherever we can with eggs from our immediate neighbor, fruit from our own trees and right nearby. The McElmo Canyon has a long food story with apple and stone fruit orchards. A selection of our heritage cereals are cultivated organically straight out of McElmo Canyon dirt from our friends at Pueblo Seed in Cortez.
Our granola is house made and serious, chock full of nuts and seeds, organic and clean, baked fresh, and honey sweetened with a touch a Maldon salt. We make our own nut milks and yogurt both dairy and vegan. We include bacon here and there for our carnivore friends. Our food is down to earth, thoughtful and "gourmet" in quality and skill, served with an abundance of excellent locally crafted coffee, select premium teas and quality juices. Well worth adding to your experience with us! $16
​Imagine sitting with your warm bowl of heritage white corn chile grits looking up at the Ancient Puebloan granary on the red cliff side here. Echoes. Dig into a bowl of granola. Simple, honest, really good food lovingly crafted. And we are just getting started...
