A WEEKEND OF DESERT BY DESIGN | A SPRING FEAST IN THE FIELDS

A WEEKEND OF DESERT BY DESIGN & / SHED 

To celebrate Desert by Design, further inaugurate the soon-to-be-official / shed space and mark the start of Gemini season, we’re hosting a weekend full of special programming. We’ve asked some of our favorite producers and friends to join us for everything from talks and adobe making to an intimate spring feast.

You will lose cell phone reception once you turn onto highway 111, and will have no signal—with the exception of satellite—once you arrive at the Shed ranch. We recommend enjoying a unique moment of pause, but if you do need phone connection, you are welcome to use wifi outside of Johnny and Maida’s home.

A SPRING FEAST IN THE FIELDS

Take part in a comilona—designed to resemble a classic pueblo feast—on the property that is our home, farm and the heart of / shed and which features in Desert by Design. Enjoy an outdoor spread with ingredients foraged and farmed, and receive a limited-run publication printed by Risolana to commemorate the weekend.

We suggest dressing in layers, as temperatures do drop in the evenings and rise during the day.
