Celebrate the peak of the season with an unforgettable farm-to-table evening at Smokebrush Farm. As the sun sets behind Tava, gather at the historic Rockledge House for "Wild New American" — the second dinner in our 2025 Summer Harvest Series.
Join us at the historic Rockledge House as the sun sets behind Tava, casting a golden glow across the hand-tended gardens of Smokebrush Farm. This intimate evening features guest chef Darren Footé presenting a multi-course American-style menu with a focus on Rocky Mountain foraged edibles. Each dish is thoughtfully crafted from ingredients grown just steps away, fresh, seasonal, and deeply connected to the land, and reflecting the vibrant flavors of early summer.
As you dine, the music of Patchwork Jack sets the tone for the evening with their combination of Texan country, Cajun folk, Latin ballads, and Romani swing.

Welcome to my culinary adventure! My love for cooking began on the farm and grew even more while I traveled through Italy, singing opera. After years of experience in renowned James Beard and Michelin restaurants, coupled with substantial time as a sommelier and bartender, I now dedicate myself to sharing my passion for food through interactive cooking classes and unforgettable experiences.www.dafootehfinefoods.com
