Farm To Table® Experience

We are proud to partner with a variety of Boulder’s best local farmers, ranchers and artisans. Our current curriculum for the 40-week Culinary Arts program includes the three-week Farm To Table^® Experience. The purpose of the Farm To Table® Experience is to provide students with hands-on direct learning and assure that students will be exposed to in-depth knowledge of where food comes from, the advantages of buying local, various farming and production methods, and how to continue to make the best sustainable and ethical ingredient choices throughout their culinary careers.
