The Chef's Garden

chef and farmer

"There's a certain intimacy when you meet the person who has taken this seed and watched it come to fruition. Every chef should want to see the person raising their vegetables. Being able to establish that relationship with Farmer Jones... it's very fulfilling for the chef as well."

simply the best

"I use the Chef's Garden products because they are the best. There is nothing comparable, anywhere."

food safety

“Food Safety is always a high priority. Seeing the way the farm is operated, the cleanliness, the protocols that they go through: it gives you piece of mind knowing, ‘Hey, when I buy (product from The Chef’s Garden), not only does it taste really good and look really good, they’re going to make sure it’s safe at the same time.’ The added benefit of knowing all the measures are in place is a huge relief.”

customization

"It's the willingness to work individually with every single chef that sets (The Chef's Garden) apart. If I need a carrot that's 2 ¼ inches, I'll get a carrot that's 2 ¼ inches. You don't find that anywhere else."

Executive Chef Patrick McElroy

passion

"What I've seen here shows a true commitment to what chefs are looking for and that is the incredible passion involved in growing vegetables and herbs and salad greens to taste as great as they can possibly taste."
