Gracie’s Farm, a regenerative agricultural site at The Lodge at Blue Sky, provides seasonal summer programming that includes farm chores and educational sessions led by a female-led team focused on high-alpine sustainable practices.
Summer farm activities and education
The farm's summer offerings, available from June through September, allow participants ages 12 and older to engage in activities such as visiting chickens, bees, and goats. According to the farm's programming, guests can learn about creating biodiverse farms and participate in chores designed to promote physical activity and mental calm before harvesting greens, flowers, and root vegetables.
Blue Sky resort history and mission
The farm is part of the 4,000-acre Blue Sky luxury resort in Wanship, Utah. The site's namesake, Gracie, was a horse rescued by resort co-owner Barb Phillips in 2013. Phillips, who co-owns the retreat with her husband Mike, established the Saving Gracie Equine Healing Foundation on the property following the rescue of approximately 100 neglected horses.
Sustainable agricultural management techniques
The agricultural operations are led by Lynsey Gammon, who utilizes sustainable growing techniques centered on soil integrity and climate pattern reviews. The farm's mission involves managing crops for the short, high-alpine growing season to produce seasonal harvests for guests.
Additional luxury resort amenities
In addition to equine healing efforts, the Blue Sky property hosts various luxury amenities and culinary pursuits, including proximity to the High West Whiskey Distillery.
