The auction is slated to continue until every item is sold, something auction overseers believe will take until about 3:30 or 4 p.m. Item pickup is scheduled to take place between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday and Tuesday.
White Fence Farm co-owner Craig Caldwell released a statement in October that revealed the beloved family restaurant had been losing money every month for some time. Challenges finding enough qualified staff also contributed to the decision to close down, he said. It joined several well-known Denver restaurants that closed their doors last year.
