Company description GB Culinary | Boutique Caterer & Farm | Est 2014

We are a full service events company committed to seasonal sourcing in Colorado. Because farming is in fact menu planning, we continue to plant our own produce, raise our own livestock and partner with trusted neighbors when their expertise complements our own. We create menus per client within the bounty or limits of these harvests. Our summer event season centers around milestone occasions in the lives of our clients, who invest their trust in our process and skills. The efforts of our farmers, back of house and front of house teams contribute to the guest experience at every turn. Job description
