Meet the Team

Owners/Operators

Claire and Colin grew up in Carver’s, playing hide and seek amongst flour bins, napping on malt bags, and contributing ideas like kids meals served on frisbees. They both worked at Carver’s while growing up, went on to have professional careers in the sciences, sustainability, and renewable energy, before the boomerang effect kicked in and the siblings ended up right back in Durango. When not at Carver’s, Claire and Colin are off celebrating what Durango is known for: rivers, mountains, deserts, and the great community of people that call the San Juan mountains home.
