The kitchen facilities at Colorado State University’s Spur campus had Farnosh Family at “steam jacketed kettle.”
Terra, Latin for “earth,” is one of three large buildings on the campus. The on-site activities focus on different aspects of agriculture. The other buildings are Vida, Spanish for “life,” which showcases CSU’s nationally renowned veterinary program and equine sports medicine; and Hydro, Greek for “water,” which includes education programs around Colorado’s status as a headwaters state.
Across the hall from the kitchen are three food laboratories with industrial equipment to process meat, dairy and produce. Gabel said people might use the lab to turn cucumbers picked frominto pickles or milk into yogurt or ice cream. Others want to develop new products. The food innovation center can give guidance on product development, the commercially available ingredients that can be used, developing food-safety plans and finding a production space.
