The restaurant is named after the Pasque wildflower, an early-blooming flower native to Colorado. A symbol of resilience, strength and the changing seasons, the flower serves as a reminder of the delicate balance of nature and the importance of our conservation efforts.

How we practice a REVERENCE FOR NATURE
To have a reverence for nature means to hold a deep and profound respect, admiration, and awe for the world around us. It involves recognizing the intrinsic value of the environment, acknowledging its beauty, complexity and importance, and approaching it with a sense of humility and appreciation. Explore some of our initiatives below.

Industrial Composting
Every year in the US, 120 million pounds of food are wasted. Their bio-digester technology converts food waste into nutrient-rich, reusable material through a proprietary process involving microbial digestion and dehydration. This process significantly reduces the volume of waste and produces a valuable byproduct that can be used as fertilizer or soil conditioner. Another partner, A1 Organics, takes the byproduct and turns it into high-quality compost that goes back to our partner farmers. This partnership ensures that food waste is not only diverted from landfills but also transformed into a valuable resource that supports sustainable agriculture and soil health.

Tracking Soil Health
Healthy soil produces healthy food. We are proud to partner with two companies dedicated to supporting soil health. These collaborations help us understand and enhance our positive impact on the environment. Zero Food Print partners with farmers and businesses to increase the amount of acreage under regenerative management, fighting climate change and creating healthy farms. Wolfe’s Neck Center is an agriculture research center focused on removing carbon from the atmosphere and putting it back in the land where it builds productive farms. Through these efforts, we are committed to fostering a healthier planet and delivering on our promise of sustainability.
