2024 Farm to Crag Yosemite Gathering

Join us for our fourth annual Farm to Crag Yosemite Gathering! We will experience a weekend full of climbing, feasting, farming, and learning at Raw Roots Farm for the weekend of May 3-5. We will get our hands dirty by participating in a farm work project. We will hear from climbers Kate Rutherford, Ashima Shiraishi, Brittany Levitt, and Tyler Karow about their work to make the world a better place whilst being leading figures in the climbing industry. We will learn about soil science from UC Merced professor Rebecca Ryals, participate in a hands-on natural dyeing workshop led by Ashima Shiraishi, learn about seasonal cooking and nutrition with Katie Ryan, and be led through a physical wellness workshop by Esther Smith. Chef Matt Dillon, from the Pacific Northwest, will join us again making beautiful, welcoming food from the seasonal fresh abundance. On Sunday, we will caravan to Yosemite National Park to climb together while enjoying delicious snacks at the crag!
