At SALT, our passionate commitment to sustainability inspires everything we do. We source quality ingredients from local farms and believe the shortest distance from the farm to the table is best. We only serve grass-finished beef, humanely raised chicken and pork, and we purchase Wisdom Farm eggs from Haxtun, Colorado. By sourcing locally, we know where our produce comes from and the person who grew it. Not only does this showcase what farmers in Colorado do so well, but it gives our guests the opportunity to support their neighbors and friends. Our food bridges the gap between healthy, delicious, and sustainable, creating a unique experience for our guests.

    The experience at the Black Cat Farm is one like no other. The service is fantastic, the views and ambiance are unmatched. The food is delicious, fresh as can be, and plentiful. This truly is something special- and the family and team that runs it are special. The passion for food and agriculture is evident- and the time was taken by the owner/ chef to share and explain this magical place. It is a pricey evening, for sure, but if you are looking for a once in a lifetime- completely unique dining experience, it will not disappoint.
