Biome* Breakfast
We are in cahoots with our great friends and neighbors at Pueblo Seed Company and offer our guests a variety of heritage grain 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 rotate blue corn pancakes, Mountain Muesli, Blue Corn Rye hot cereal, White Corn Grits, house made granola too! We have curated a selection of interesting and thoughtful add ons for either a sweet or savory bowl of energizing and satisfying morning meal. Imagine sitting with your warm bowl of heritage corn looking up at the Ancient Puebloan granary on the red cliff side here. Echoes. see the selection here
