With Manzo, every event is a one-of-a-kind experience, and when hosted on our farm, each event is an opportunity to blend the natural beauty of our land with unforgettable moments that celebrate tradition, innovation, and culinary excellence. In October 2024, we had the pleasure of hosting an event for Visit Spokane and Trail Feast, one that affectionately became known as "Cows and Comets".

In partnership with Visit Spokane and renowned chef Chad White of Trail Feast, we welcomed a distinguished group of travel writers and journalists from the United Kingdom. Among our guests was Sian Maher, a reporter for the Scottish Sun, who captured the magic of the night with these memorable words:

“I sat on the idyllic land of Owens Farms on my final night, feeling like something straight out of a dream, as comets streaked across the sky while we petted the full-blood Piedmontese cows.” – Sian Maher

This event was more than just a farm visit; it was an immersive experience. As our guests strolled through our pastures and witnessed the gentle grace of our full-blood Piedmontese cows, they were treated to an awe-inspiring display of nature. The night sky lit up with Comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS), adding a celestial touch to an already magical setting.

At Manzo, we pride ourselves on crafting events that reflect our passion for heritage, sustainability, and culinary innovation. "Cows and Comets" showcased the true essence of what we offer: a custom-tailored experience where every detail is carefully designed to create lasting memories.
