The Farmers Table: Growing Food & Community

The Farmers Table: Growing Food & Community is an evening of chef–farm pairings and small-plate tastings in the Rochester Hotel courtyard. Guests mingle while plates arrive, hear brief stories from each chef and partnering grower / producer, and browse a curated silent auction. A live band sets the tone, and a short presentation from the Durango Farmers Market shares our goals and upcoming season priorities.

What’s Included

• Six chef + farm/ranch paired tapas

• One welcome drink; additional cocktails and zero-proof options available

• Silent auction featuring local experiences and goods

• Live music and meet-the-farmer & chef moments

Funds raised will directly support programs like Market Day (including our 2nd Saturdays on Main pilot), Farm-to-Neighbor, Taste the Market: Guest Chef Program, and food-access support—helping growers and small businesses thrive while expanding education and access to local food.

Walking the line between vintage Country & Southwestern, Nathan occasionally stumbles into music all his own. He sings songs, plays his guitar, and backs himself up on harmonica – just three chords and some lullabies, legends, and lies.
