Food As Farmacy™
A Farm-to-Table experience that aims to connect people with their food and with the people who grow it in the Inland Pacific Northwest.
The goal: getting you closer to your own local Farmacy to enrich your health and wellbeing.
Our
Why
Experiences that Connect Food, Health, and Regenerative Agriculture
Food As Farmacy™ Events are where health, medicine, great food and farming collide in the most delectable way. Spearheaded by Dr. Casey Carr, a naturopathic doctor whose mission is to get people closer to their food source.
Casey is a primary care physician practicing in North Idaho with a passion for reconnecting people to their food—and to the farmers who grow it. With a degree in Nutritional Sciences from Cornell University and clinical training in naturopathic medicine, she believes that health starts in the soil. Her own journey took her to a variety of farming internships and experiences where she first witnessed how real, local food can transform health from the ground up.
​
Now, she’s teaming up with local farmers who share that vision. Together, they are creating immersive farm-to-table events that nourish both body and community. Join us this summer for unforgettable experiences that blend education, conversation, and a truly nourishing meal.
​
Wholesome, flavorful, and rooted in place—this is food the way it was meant to be.
​
Come meet your food, your farmers, and your neighbors. We can’t wait to share this table with you.​
About Our 2025 Events.
We are offering two curated experiences for Summer 2025 to the Inland Pacific Northwest. Whether you choose the family-friendly ranch night or learn to make your own chèvre goat cheese, there's an experience for everyone. Each event includes a tour of the farm from the farmer to better understand their processes and a meal with ingredients fresh from the farm - it may just be the best meal of your entire summer season. We are excited to bring such a diverse offering to the Inland PNW, and we think it is an accurate portrait of the diverse food and farmers that the area has to offer.

Frequently Asked Questions
I have food allergies. Can events be accomodated?
If you have a severe allergy, we cannot guarantee that any of the kitchens will be able to adhere to strict cross-contamination of a variety of ingredients. We also will not know set menu until the days leading up to the event based on seasonality, making it difficult to predict what potential allergens could be.
I have dietary preferences or restrictions (ie, gluten-free, dairy-free). Will this be a problem?
While we think most meals will be flexible with a family-style serving component so you can build your own plate, we will not be able to accommodate dietary restrictions beyond that separation of components of the meal.
I am no longer able to attend. Can I receive a refund?
Tickets are non-refundable upon purchase. They can be transferred to another person, but refunds will not be issued for any event.
Will further details be shared about appropriate dress, parking, etc?
Can I bring my family?
We love families and getting young ones to know where their food is coming from at a young age. Due to logistics of our Quillisascut and Genesis events, there is a 16 years and older requirement. All ages are welcomed at our Castle Rock Ranch night.
Yes, all ticket purchasers will receive an email leading up to the event about specific event details.
