Spring is in the air, and it’s an especially dramatic shift here in the Northeast. If you are living in the Northern Hemisphere, you too are likely experiencing the reemergence of the color green: a vibrant version unique to this time of year — so tied to spring’s unfolding food palate and the feeling of hope and new beginnings that accompany it.

All of us here at Farm To Crag are eager to get out climbing… we know you’re all eager too! But just like unexpected rainy days, long winter seasons, or life priorities that temporarily distract from our favorite sport, now is also a great opportunity to hone your skills in the kitchen and stock your portable pantry so you can have healthy, travel-friendly meals and prepared ingredients at the ready.

In partnership with the generous folks at Patagonia and Patagonia Provisions, Farm To Crag brought together surrounding farmers and climbers in our first-ever Community Gathering outside of iconic Yosemite National Park! We attracted advocates from all sides who wanted to learn more about regenerative agriculture; nutrition and fermentation; community supported farming; making change with your fork, your wallet, and your voice; and how soil health has the potential to reverse human-led climate change.
