Some conversations leave you feeling lighter than when you arrived. This week on The Blackberry Podcast, Dr. Henry Cloud joins hosts Mary Celeste Beall and Sarah Chabot to explore what it means to live intentionally. Together, they dive into Dr. Cloud’s insights on breaking unhealthy patterns, managing stress and creating the structures that help us move toward our goals with purpose. He speaks to the power of having a vision, the importance of community and the truth that growth often begins when we become willing to acknowledge our own needs.

Perhaps most importantly, he offers a simple but meaningful perspective: We are shaped not only by what we give to others, but also by what we allow ourselves to receive.

Pour a cup of coffee or maybe a glass of wine, settle into your favorite chair and join us for a conversation that offers equal parts wisdom, encouragement and reflection.

The FOOD & WINE Classic in Aspen is always one of the highlights of the year for lovers of food, wine and the amazing people that make up the industry. And this year’s gathering was especially meaningful as we celebrate 50 years of Blackberry Farm.

Executive Chef Cassidee Dabney took the stage to discuss the traditions and future of Appalachian cuisine, joined Simon Kim and Jacob Potashnick for a conversation moderated by Food & Wine ‘s Mel Hansche on the future of luxury dinning, and stepped into the friendly chaos of Somms vs. Chefs alongside Maneet Chauhan and Chris Shepherd and Somms, Ray Isle, Arjav Ezekiel, Amanda McCrossin and Chris Dunaway.

Our very own Andy Chabot and Logan Griffin guided guests through tastings that celebrated the wines of California and a collection of ten whiskies that helped tell the story of America.

The weekend’s centerpiece was a special 50th Anniversary Dinner presented by Lexus — a cherished partner since 2001 and a proud supporter of the Food & Wine Classic.

For one evening, all four of Blackberry Farm’s Executive Chefs — Cassidee Dabney, Josh Feathers, Sean Miller and Trevor Iaconis — joined Cheesemaker Chris Osborne to bring our beloved Chef’s Night Out experience to Aspen. Guests gathered around family-style platters of creamed corn and chanterelles, early-season tomatoes and potatoes, Snake River Farms ribeye cap, chicken with Alabama white sauce, shrimp and, of course, s’mores and an ice cream bar featuring selections from the Blackberry Farm Larder.

The evening began with Champagne from Krug and chips & caviar and continued with exceptional wines selected alongside our longtime friend and award-winning importer Eric Solomon, including a beautiful Chardonnay from Haynes Vineyard with special thanks to Carlton McCoy.

To Hunter Lewis, Lucy Simon, Ray Isle, Kat Kinsman and the entire Food & Wine team — thank you for welcoming us back to Aspen. We left inspired, grateful and we are already looking forward to the next time!

And as you can probably tell, we had a pretty great time along the way!

Thank you for all you do and who you are, Dad. Happy Father's Day.

Nestled in a quiet spot overlooking the fields of Blackberry Farm, the Yallarhammer pavilion has long served as a place to gather, celebrate and share a meal. In the latest issue of FREDERIC magazine, Mary Celeste Beall shares about the origin story of using this space for community. “We were hosting a group that had been to the Farm many times before, and Sam wanted to do something different. When he suggested a dinner outdoors by the fire, I thought, ‘Gosh, that’s crazy.’” Since then, it’s become a well-loved spot to come together in the open air and enjoy the seasons of the Great Smoky Mountains.

From how to arrange flowers to decorate the table to what she’s serving as an after-dinner sip, Mary Celeste offers a glimpse into the art of dining and entertaining al fresco, at the Farm and beyond.

The heart of Blackberry Farm has always been found in the hands of those who nurture the land and what’s created from it. We're thrilled to celebrate Cheesemaker Chris Osborne and the talented Larder and Farmstead teams in honor of Brebis and Hawkins Haze being awarded 2026 Good Food Awards!

Selected from more than 1,200 entries through a blind tasting process, these awards recognize exceptional flavor, thoughtful stewardship and dedication to craft – values that also guide us here at the Farm. From the balanced character of Brebis, with both richness in texture and lightness on the palate, to the mineral-rich complexity of Hawkins Haze, each cheese tells a story of our land, our animals and the people who care for them every day.

We’re so excited to celebrate this win, and the best way to do that is by enjoying the cheese! Join us in congratulating Chris and the entire Farmstead team on this well-deserved honor, and shop these award-winning cheeses at the link. bit.ly/BFShopCheeseAndMeats
