Preserves Dinner at Gracie’s Farm

The culinary team at The Lodge at Blue Sky invite you to “join us for an intimate multi-course dinner in the Broadfork Barn at Gracie’s Farm created by Executive Chef Jason Franey: Each course heralds preserved heirloom ingredients that have been lovingly cultivated through the winter. We are excited to partner once again with our friends at Salt Lake City-based Templin Family Brewery as we pair their local craft beers to each course.”

The Preserves Dinner honors the tradition in Utah of preserving fruits and vegetables. “As we transition into spring we awaken our senses with bright flavors that celebrate the bounty of the previous season,” say the folks at the Lodge at Blue Sky. The dinner takes place on Tuesday, May 30 with a welcome reception at 5:00 p.m. and dinner at 6 p.m..
