Bozeman Farm To Crag Gathering with Charley Graham and Chance Farm
Bozeman Farm to Crag Day with Chance Farm: a seat at the table to transform our food system—together. Let’s move, nourish, and learn as we support our farmers and build the community we want to be part of.
Join us for an unforgettable day that begins with either rock climbing in Gallatin Canyon with MMA or a group bike ride with Bozeman Bike Tours that travels through the agricultural history of this valley. All levels are welcome for time together enjoying the stunning crags and pathways that Gallatin Valley has to offer. After an inspiring day outside, we’ll meet at Chance Farm—a first-generation farm, specializing in high-quality vegetables and soil health, with a passion for building communities in the Gallatin Valley and beyond.
We will have an afternoon farm tour and volunteer veggie harvest, moments of self-care, snacks, and demonstrations; including a honey tasting|native bee demonstration with Bee Regenerative and local vendors. We’ll end the day with a gourmet farm-to-table dinner crafted by award-winning chef Charley Graham, live music (Jack and Kia are joining us again) and an interactive food system workshop and panel discussion with cake and ice cream.
