CWC Alpine Science Institute - A Pushroot Valley Harvestfest

Families and food lovers! Come join us on Saturday, September 13 for a day of celebrating and enjoying a feast of local foods in the Lander area! The day will feature tours at local farms and a farm to table dinner, you can choose to partipcate in one or both events:

Farm Tours - 12:00pm to 5:30pm

Spend the afternoon touring four local, family owned farms. Each stop will offer a look at fresh produce and livestock and a glimpse into the heart of small-scale agriculture that sustains these families and our community. From the friendly Jersey cows and heirloom tomatoes to pasture-raised poultry and artisan flowers, tour participants will connect with the people behind their food, learning how these farms prioritize sustainability, soil health, and community resilience. Spots are limited to 30 participants and transportation will be provided!

Farm to Table Dinner - 5:00 to 7:30pm

Sit down for a farm to table dinner at the CWC Alpine Science Institute. Prepared by CWC Culinary Instructor Jenny Joyes and featuring ingredients sourced directly from the farms toured as well as other local farms, the event will also include live music, drinks, and storytelling. 100 tickets will be sold for this event, but they'll sell out quickly!

Both events are open to participants 12 years and older.

The event is made possible through a partnerhsip between Slow Food Wind River, Central Wyoming College Lander and Alpine Science Institute, CWC Regenerative Food Systems and CWC Culinary program, with funding from the Lander District Recreation Board and Hughes Charitable Foundation.
