Overview
This Sunday Supper on the farm is in amazing hands, the hands of Chef Mario Vasquez and Colorado Craft Tejon Street Social. Colorado Craft strives to showcase the best Colorado has to offer every day in their restaurant. They are dedicated to supporting all things local, and creating food of the highest quality. If you're looking for a night out with integrity go visit them in downtown Colorado Springs. We're lucky to have this ideal Chef and Restaurant team, along with crafted cocktails from The Archives and music from the Springs' most kickin' country band.
The Chef - Mario Vasquez began his culinary career by attending Le Cordon Bleu, in Sacramento, California. After graduating from Le Cordon Bleu, Mario accepted a position at the Farmstead Restaurant in Napa Valley, under the direction of Executive Chef Sheamus Feeley. After spending three years at Farmstead, he quickly ascended in his positions, eventually becoming Sous Chef. After the Farmstead, Mario spent time traveling and cooking in France and Spain where he was inspired by the simple approach, utilizing the seasons and what was available to highlight food. Upon returning to California, Mario accepted the Sous Chef position under Chef Casey Overton at the triple 5-star Diamond Montage Laguna Beach Hotel and Resort. Here he was able to learn and work with some of the best chefs in Southern California. Chef Mario first moved to Colorado Springs to work alongside Executive Chef Sheamus Feeley to open Till Kitchen. He was excited for the move and opportunity to go back to his roots of working with fresh and simple ingredients. After the opening of Till Kitchen he then moved on to become the Executive Chef at Garden of the Gods Gourmet. Chef Mario was than offered the chance to design and co-own his first restaurant, culminating in the opening of Colorado Craft in January of 2018.

Get to know Frost Farm and Livestock Company - In 1958, Jon Wallace Frost II began building a ranch and home in the Fountain Valley strong enough to support a family of 11. Primarily focused on cattle and hay production, the Fountain Creek Ranch gave rise to multiple generations of agriculturalists. With a hand in environmental conservation, the Frosts continue to operate with a focus on local food and sustainability.
Today, the Frost Livestock Company is a combined ranching and farming enterprise that raises non-certified organic vegetables and grass/alfalfa hay on the irrigated parts of the farm and grass-fed and grass-finished lamb and beef in the irrigated meadows and upland pastures. Our lamb and beef are free from hormones, antibiotics and corn; our fields are never sprayed; and our vegetable planting, irrigating, weeding, and harvesting are all done the old-fashioned way – by hand, by family and neighbors.
We are committed to sustainable and regenerative practices and take pride in growing delicious, healthy, and sustainable food—including greens, beets, onions, potatoes, beans, leeks, chile, and grass fed/grass-finished lamb and beef. We are a fourth-generation farm and ranch, with deep roots in local farming and ranching traditions and with lasting commitments to the future of agriculture in Colorado.
In addition to ranching and farming, the Frosts have developed a hunting club, the Frost Ranch Sportsmen Club. The club is dedicated to offering hunting opportunities to members with an understanding for agriculture and sustainable game management. Utilizing the Frost family home, the Big House, members can enjoy a comfortable, rustic stay at the ranch while sharing memories with family and friends.
In order to continue ranching and farming, the Frost family has opened its doors to the Big House, a 6 bedroom, 5 bathroom ranch house. The house sits as the focal point for events of various sizes and overnight stays. In partnership with organizations like A Grazing Life, the Frost family intends to remain in agriculture and serve as humble land managers dedicated to holistic sustainability.
