Our
Why
Experiences that Connect Food, Health, and Regenerative Agriculture
Food As Farmacy™ creates immersive farmer-to-table experiences that bring people closer to the source of their nourishment and to the farmers who steward it. Rooted in the Inland Pacific Northwest, these gatherings blend seasonal meals, meaningful conversation, hands-on learning, and regenerative agriculture in a way that nourishes both body and community.
Founded by Dr. Casey Carr, a naturopathic physician practicing in North Idaho, Food As Farmacy™ was born from the belief that true health begins not only on the plate, but in the soil beneath it.
With a degree in Nutritional Sciences from Cornell University and clinical training in naturopathic medicine, Casey has long explored the relationship between farming, food traditions, and human health. For years, she found herself drawn equally toward two callings: farmer and physician. The deeper she studied both, the more she realized they shared the same purpose: to nourish and sustain human life.
She believes farmers are some of our most essential healthcare workers, shaping health long before patients ever enter a clinic. Her path led through a variety of farming internships and immersive agricultural experiences, where she witnessed firsthand how thoughtfully grown, local food can transform wellbeing from the ground up.
Today, she partners with farmers, ranchers, cheesemakers, and growers who share a deep commitment to land stewardship, nutrient-dense food, and community connection. Together, they create unforgettable gatherings that invite guests to slow down, ask questions, share meals, and reconnect with the origins of nourishment.
Wholesome, flavorful, and deeply 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 the table with you.
About Our 2026 Events.
We are offering three curated experiences for 2026 to the Inland Pacific Northwest and one immersive experience abroad. Whether you choose to "feel the churn" learning to make your own herbed butter or opt for a family-friendly night in Spokane, 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.
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, there is a 16 years and older requirement. All ages are welcomed at our Castle Rock Ranch and Your Friends Farm.
Will further details be shared about appropriate dress, parking, etc?
Yes, all ticket purchasers will receive an email leading up to the event about specific event details.
