HAPPENINGS
We pride ourselves on curating unexpected and unforgettable experiences focused around creating a connection to the natural beauty and bounty of our Hidden Valley of Enchantment. We celebrate each season with thoughtfully crafted, farm fresh meals; curated adventures, and gatherings that welcome everyone to the table.
CULINARY EXPERIENCES
We work to support our local community by connecting our offerings to the bounty of the valley. We strive to highlight the beautiful ingredients being grown right here in Cuyama, and our neighboring cities, in all of our culinary programs. We pride ourselves on curating unforgettable experiences centered around seasonal meals that let these beautiful, local ingredients speak for themselves, as well as opportunities for everyone to be a part of the culinary process from sourcing to cooking to celebrating over a shared meal.
We believe that localizing our food system and educating our greater community about the amazing benefits and importance of sourcing locally is an imperative step in creating a sustainable future and we invite you to join the table.
ARTISTS IN RESIDENCE
KIM SUTHERLAND
Our first artist-in-residence from the summer of 2019, artist and designer, Kim Sutherland, has completed a book about Cuyama. This is the second book of a rural community series. The first book was created from Sutherland’s time in Joseph Oregon.
This second book is called Rural Issue 2: New Cuyama, California and is a compilation of 12 interviews with local Cuyama residents, including iconic and influential members of our community, many of whom have been in Cuyama for decades. The book also features photographs of the interviewees taken by Sutherland.
