Real Farming - The Chef's Garden Way

You undoubtedly already know that The Chef’s Garden grows the highest quality, safest, and most flavorful specialty vegetables and herbs to the best chef’s around the world. But what you don’t know, what we haven’t done the best job at showing you, is the process behind the product and the people behind the scenes making it happen.

It’s time to change that. 

Farming isn’t just the beauty shot of Red Ribbon Sorrel or the Pea Tendril that has been carefully plated by the chefs who use our products.  We want to take this time to introduce you to real farming – The Chef’s Garden way.

To us farming is getting our hands dirty. 

Farming isn’t about treating the soil or the products to make it do what we want.  It’s about listening to the soil and giving it what it needs to provide for us naturally.  Farming is about the commitment we have to the land that we inherited and the agricultural practices we’ve adopted from our ancestors to sustain this land for generations to come. 

Farming is about having patience to let things grow as nature intended. 

For us, farming is putting our hearts into tending the fields and the greenhouses. 

It’s putting our backs into the harvesting and our minds into packaging it in the best possible way for it to arrive at your door so fresh you can still smell the dirt it was pulled from.

Farming is about the relationship we have with our chef’s.

It's how we put our body and souls into providing them with the colors and flavors they need to bring their inspirations to life on the plate.

From the seed to the soil to the hands that harvest and ship that product, farming is about the love and devotion the entire team has to the process.  

Farming is about having fun, making coworkers into friends and friends into family. 


In the coming months we’d like to introduce you to the farmers, the packing and office team that together make up our farm family.  We will bring you to the fields with us to get to know the land and how we care for it and the products that we grow.  Then we will take you into the greenhouses to show you the magic that happens year round. 

Like every vegetable, we have our bruises and our imperfections. 

Sometimes things don’t work out as planned, but we grow from the experiences and celebrate the adventures along the way.  So join us in our adventures, meet our team and experience farming first hand.
