Black Cat Organic Farm
Jill and Chef Eric Skokan have created a 500 acre, Certified Organic vegetable farm located just outside of the city that now supplies the bounty of their restaurants, Farm Store, Dinners at the Farm, CSA’s, and Boulder Farmers’ Market Booths. At Black Cat Organic Farm, we grow 250+ heirloom and heritage cultivars that range from some of the old regional classics to the exotics. Because we harvest at the farm every day, we select varieties for flavor, not for storage and transportation which is all too common these days.
We grow, seed clean and mill our own grains: Organic Polenta Corn, Wallis Rye, Einkorn, Buckwheat, Khorasan, Hard Red, Lentils, and Black Garbanzo Beans. We are actively involved in the Colorado Grain Chain.
We also raise and breed Heritage Tunis , Karakul, and Awassi Sheep; Mulefoot, Mangalitsa, and Red Wattle pigs; heritage chickens and geese. Many of these breeds are on The Livestock Conservancy’s endangered lists and Slow Food’s Ark of Taste. All our animals are raised on pasture and vegetable fields with holistic pasture management, No hormones, No GMOs, No routine antibiotics and lots of love and care.
The huge variety of produce grown allows Chef Skokan a limitless palate of flavors, colors and textures from which to build his award-winning cuisine. The Black Cat’s and Bramble&Hare’s menus change daily and always has a sense of discovery and delight.
Visit our Farm Store at 4975 Jay Road year-round, Fri-Sundays, 10-5.
