Seattle Farm To Crag 2026

Celebrate the Value of Food 

How can we honor our food, how it is grown, those who prepare it, and those we share it with? 

Join us to celebrate the value of food at Carnation Farms with Chef Matt Dillon, Eric Popp the Carnation director of Regenerative Agriculture, Russ Flint from Rainshadow Meats, M&P Ranches, Emma Fuller of Fractal Ag, and the Farm To Crag crew Kate Rutherford and Esther Smith.

This will be an exploration in regenerative grazing, how sheep and lamb are part of an ecosystem, and a holistic food experience. We will learn to use every part of a plant or animal well, to offer practices that lead to health, reciprocity, thrift, and the ultimate respect for our food. Stay tuned for more details on climbing and speakers!
