Join us for an evening of extraordinary flavors and innovative dishes celebrating Farro, an ancient grain that can improve human and soil health. Chef Cody Candelario, renowned Food Network star and champion of “Cutthroat Kitchen” and “Chopped,” and finalist on “Hell’s Kitchen,” is bringing together some of Colorado’s top chefs in this thrilling showdown, battling for the ultimate prize in grits greatness!

At the heart of the competition is Gruff Ancient Grain Grits, made from Farro grown on Prairie Grass Ranch, a 106-year-old family farm nestled in Montana’s renowned Golden Triangle. Gruff, winner of the 2023 NEXTY Award for Best Certified Regenerative Organic Product, takes Farro—typically enjoyed as a berry or flour—and transforms it into nutrient-packed grits that you won’t want to miss.

A Created By Cody concept, presented by Mad Agriculture and featuring Gruff Grains, this exciting event shines a spotlight on the importance of artisan grains like Farro in regenerative farming systems. Beyond its delicious flavor and ancient heritage, Farro is a healthier, more sustainable alternative to refined grains like white rice. Its cultivation helps regenerate the land by improving soil health, conserving water, and boosting biodiversity.

Come celebrate with us in this one-of-a-kind evening that’s not only a feast for the senses but also a celebration of grains that are good for your health, good for our farms, and good for the planet.
