The Colony at White Pine Canyon

Small Business Highlight: Ellie’s Chefs | Catering | Cafe

July 29, 2018 by Molly Miller, Colony PR

 

One of the local Park City businesses we enjoy is Ellie’s Chefs | Catering | Cafe. Ellie’s Catering frequently provides services for us right here in The Colony, and Ellie has recently opened a brand-new cafe in the Kimball Art Center. Ellie’s goal is to provide clean, creative cuisine; here’s a look at all the ways you can enjoy it!

Services
Ellie’s provides everything in its name: (private) Chefs, Catering, Cafe – and more: you can also have meals dropped off at your door (pick-up is an option, too). The meals are ready to roll – all you have to do is heat according to the included instructions.

The New Cafe
Natural, seasonal ingredients inform the menu, which changes based on availability, as most local, clean menus do. You can grab breakfast, lunch, and snacks from the Cafe, and (leashed) pups are welcome on the patio. The breakfast menu will usually include items like breakfast tacos, veggie frittata, and breakfast breads (come here on your carb cheat day!). For lunch, there are sandwiches served with chips and a pickle, but the signature bowls are not to be missed. Enjoy a Kale & Quinoa Bowl, Asian Salmon Bowl or a Mediterranean Bowl. Yum.

Ellie’s Cafe is open Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Community Involvement

The food is fabulous, but one of the things we like most about Ellie’s is how committed the company is to providing support for our local community. Ellie’s contributes to a number of local nonprofits, like the National Ability Center, Recycle Utah – Park City, EATS (Eat Awesome Things At School), Park City Community Foundation, Adopt-A-Native-Elder, Peace House, and Summit Community Gardens.

Ellie’s Catering provided hors-d’oeuvres for our Music in the Meadow event.

One of our favorite reasons to shop locally is that more of the money we spend stays in our community – it pays local wages, it is spent at *other* local stores to purchase supplies and goods, and most of all, some of it is donated to local nonprofits. As it says on Ellie’s website, “when you hire Ellie’s, you are also supporting … organizations…who help make our lives so much better.” Any effort to build up and support our community is one we can get behind here at The Colony.


The Colony at White Pine Canyon is the largest gated ski-in, ski-out community in the United States.
In winter, enjoy exclusive ski and snowboard access to one of America’s largest mountain resorts, Park City. In spring, the snow melts to reveal an amazing network of hiking, biking, and horseback riding trails, connecting to more than 400 miles of single-track trails throughout the surrounding area.
The Colony is just 35 minutes from Salt Lake International Airport and minutes to Park City’s historic Main Street, home to the Sundance Film Festival and world-class dining and shopping.

Small Business Highlight: Wasatch Creamery Ice Cream Co.

July 15, 2018 by Molly Miller, Colony PR

It’s true — living in The Colony at White Pine Canyon feels like its own world: Ski-in, ski-out access from private homes nestled in the heart of North America’s largest ski resort, breathtakingly beautiful open lands which make life here feel like we are in our own national park, and an incredible collection of hiking, biking, and horseback riding trails networking from our doorsteps in warm-weather months.

Another large part of what makes life so special here at The Colony is the connection we have to our local Park City community. Our town is assiduous, active, and incredibly altruistic (there are more than 100 nonprofits based here, too), and we get to enjoy all of the wonderful opportunities and experiences which result!

SMALL BUSINESS SUNDAY
For our first Small Business Sunday highlight, in honor of National Ice Cream Day, we’re going to take a peek at Wasatch Creamery* Ice Cream Co. This company, owned and operated by Kris Tart, creates some of the most surprisingly delightful ice cream flavors you’ll ever find; selections like Brown Butter, Salted Oreo, Ginger Lime, Lavender Blueberry, and Basil & Blackberry, with new flavors being sampled and refined all the time.

As a general rule, a lot of the benefit of supporting local food businesses is you know right where your food comes from. And not only does this mean it tastes better, it can also make you healthier. Because the food is *right here* – it’s fresher, which means it maintains more nutrients, and you can easily learn the conditions the food is created in. And while, yes, we know, ice cream isn’t exactly known for being healthy – you’re gonna eat it anyway, so you might as well make the best selection possible! But, we digress.

Homemade ice cream base: *also* good enough to eat with a spoon.

Here’s the deal – each batch of Wasatch Creamery ice cream begins with a base created from locally-sourced milk and cream, organic sugar, and eggs. As founder Kris Tart says, “no stabilizers, no preservatives, no funny business.” In fact, Wasatch Creamery Ice Cream Company is one of the few in the country which uses a homemade ice cream base. It sources its milk and cream hyper-locally, from Rosehill Dairy, to ensure the very highest quality. And believe us (we’ve tried it), the base is good enough to eat on its own.  

ICE CREAM INSIGHT
Why is Wasatch Creamery Ice Cream so darn delicious? It has to do with something called “overrun,” or, the amount of air in the ice cream. The industry standard is 50% — (one part air to every two parts cream). Wasatch Creamery Ice Cream is spun to have just 30% – the lowest you are likely to ever enjoy. It’s the technical reason the ice cream tastes so crazy creamy.

PAW PINTS
Wasatch Creamery Ice Cream Co. was developed in Park City. And, in true Park City (or should we say Bark City) style, Kris has a love for pups. This love inspired her to create puppy ice cream, and a local naming contest yielded the name Paw Pints. Made of organic yogurt, chicken stock, and bacon, this frozen treat is also available wherever you can find the human versions.

Fillin’ hearts and cones across the Wasatch Front & Back.

GET YOUR HANDS ON A CONE
All of the ice cream is homemade and handmade in Heber, Utah and is available at the Park City and Salt Lake City Farmers’ Markets, Park Silly Sunday Market, St. Regis’ Big Stars, Bright Nights Concert Series (programmed by Park City Institute), Twisted Fern, Victory Ranch, Copper Moose Farm, and Campos Coffee, with additional availability to be announced soon.


*Wasatch Creamery Ice Cream Co. is a client of Miller Media & Communications, which created the content for this blog post.
