GROWING THE FARMSTEAD AT SMITH FORK RANCH


Last night we enjoyed fresh radishes, yukina savoy, herbs, and other veggies picked from our garden - washed and prepared only thirty minutes prior to their arrival on my plate! It doesn't get much fresher than that. At SFR our Farmstead Garden is a very special part of our Ranch.

We never lose the thrill and exhilaration that comes with each new season here in our beautiful valley in the mountains. The SFR Garden focuses on the preservation and organic production of heirloom varietals. All visitors to Smith Fork Ranch are welcome to take part in the garden activities - wonder the rows with our gardener, learn about the seasons, techniques, and harvests, and pick a fresh, organic veg to snack on or add to the Chef's basket for the evening meal.


Our gardener Alma Roberts and our Chef Matthew Dusharme will welcome your participation in harvesting the perfect, fresh produce - with names like graffiti cauliflower, winsor fava beans, tavera, rainbow chard, dwarf grey sugar pea tendrils, and allstar gourmet lettuce - this is not your ordinary garden.


Have fun getting your hands dirty! It’s part of the pleasure and experience of Smith Fork Ranch.
