Our Food Ways...

local, regional, organic

Food ways

​We offer a breakfast choice( $16 per person per day) not included in the room price, served at The Lodge with sit spots inside, on and around the patio​​​

Count on breakfast, other boosts for the days' adventure, a place to cook and grill your own meals in the Community Kitchen and menu selections for Cortez.

Breakfast ($16) We are in cahoots with our friends and neighbors at Pueblo Seed Company and offer our guests a variety of organic hot heritage cereals straight out of canyon dirt. All of their grains are cultivated organically right here in The McElmo Canyon then ground in small batches at their artisanal production warehouse in Cortez. 

 

We include Blue Corn Rye hot cereal, Spouted Oats Porridge, Blue Corn Pancakes, authentic Swiss Muesli and there is always house made granola chock full of nuts and seeds. We have curated a selection of interesting and thoughtful add ons for either a sweet or savory, energizing and satisfying morning meal with something for everyone. Imagine sitting with your warm bowl of heritage corn looking up at the Ancient Puebloan granary on the red cliff side here. Echoes.

Complimentary( at The lodge)

 

Morning coffee and tea: we serve Mesa Verde blend coffee locally roasted from Telluride Roasting Co. and brew in a Mocha Master to really express the character of the beans. Folks love our coffee! We also offer selected teas: full bodied Assam, Sencha green, and herb teas that hark back to our Montana life; Glacier Bay, and Evening in Missoula ( great for the relaxation before bed).

​

​Refreshment: daytime: you may find cold cucumber water, iced green tea, mango green, beautiful hibiscus iced tea, or cold brew coffee from morning remains. 

​

Orchard fruit bowl: look for in season apples, peaches, pears and apricots in our offering bowl in The Lodge all from our trees or immediate neighbors. You will find some heirloom varieties not before tasted! ​​We also offer dried varieties from previous seasons to take with you for a boost on your hike.
