Black Cat Farmstead is the working-farm expression of a restaurant Eric Skokan and his wife Jill founded in 2006. What started as a small neighborhood bistro became the couple's laboratory for Front Range Cuisine — cooking drawn directly from Colorado's forests, fields, and mountains — and that project now plays out on their own organic farm in Longmont, where dinner is served alfresco among the gardens.
The restaurant sits alongside sister property Bramble & Hare, which runs a separate three-course dinner format in its own dining rooms. At the Farmstead, guests eat outdoors on-site, with the farm itself visible around the tables.
Regulars describe the setting as a draw in its own right, with service and pacing that can vary night to night — feedback owners have been known to respond to directly. Westword named Black Cat Farmstead among the city's best restaurants in 2025.
