Yosemite Gathering 2025 Event Recap

Jan 3

In May, we hosted our 6th annual Yosemite Farm To Crag flagship gathering at Raw Roots Farm, which is where it all started.

From farm-to-table gourmet meals crafted by award-winning chef Matt Dillon, to eye-opening workshops on soil science, nutrition, and organic textiles, every moment sparked conversation and curiosity. We explored how the choices we make, from what we eat to how we recreate, can support regenerative agriculture and stewardship of the places we love most.

Huge gratitude to our hosts, Andrew and Lauren Glikin, and to our guest teachers and presenters: Jeanette Acosta, Sasha Digiulian, Tommy Caldwell, Dane Steadman, Ashima Shiraishi, Dr. Becca Ryals, Kate Rutherford, Bridget Gilmore, Jesse Honig, Rachel Kulchin, and many more for sharing their passion and knowledge. We couldn’t do this without the incredible volunteers led by Lilja Jelks, Lauren Danna, Ben Ward, Tyler Karow, and Emmy Aras.

Between climbing days in the valley supported by Patagonia Provisions and Patagonia, and starlit evenings at the farm, we strengthened not only our hands and hearts, but our sense of community and purpose.
