Chef At Home In Denver
Get to know me better
A Denver-based farmer and chef creating custom, biodynamic dining experiences.
Hey there, my name is Katelyn and I’m a Farmer and a Chef. I grow, harvest, process, ferment, cook and feed—all from scratch. As a Chef, food is everything to me: art, culture, and connection. It is the excitement of life, creating experiences and new tastes from past travels, sweetening the memories and building relationships with friends and family.
Food is also a basic daily need to nurture our bodies. But food and nutrition have become really complicated for the average consumer. It's become difficult to know what ingredients are in our food and where it all comes from. I believe in real food and find value in knowing how the many different vegetables we eat are grown and prepared. I think that it is intrinsically important that we have a relationship with where our food comes from, and I think everyone should try to take some part in their own food systems.
In starting my business, Far Cloud Foods, I wanted to create delicious food from scratch full circle using real and healthy ingredients. I can tell you where the food I cook with comes from, because I grow much of the food that I prepare myself (and source other ingredients from local farms and producers). I come from a long line of generational farmers. I grow my food and keep the special lessons of food preservation alive so that I can share my bounty all year round. I especially have a strong fascination with fermentation and the use of microorganisms, which both develop complex flavors and increase the shelf life and nutritional quality of fresh foods.
I hope for the opportunity to show you some of the magic properties Far Cloud Foods has to offer.
