    Asparagus Reigns Supreme The Favorite of Farmer Lee Jones Gets the Royal Treatment May 14, 2018

    If the squash blossom is the darling princess of The Chef’s Garden, then asparagus is king. Heck. Asparagus might as well be the whole royal family.

  • Incredible Diversity of Fresh Asparagus: Colors and Sizes Image
    Incredible Diversity of Fresh Asparagus: Colors and Sizes April 26, 2018

    In Europe, chefs almost always use white asparagus, rarely green. Because white asparagus beautifully offers up luscious notes of corn and sweet cabbage, we fully appreciate their love of this marvelous vegetable. European farmers mound soil over the asparagus plants to block the chlorophyll process, which creates the white color. But, these plants need to push hard through the soil and end up with tough outer skins that need peeled off. This adds labor (costs and time) to the mix, and then the most nutritious part of the vegetable is thrown away.

    Roots 2017: Culinary Conference Explores Sustainability in the Workplace March 6, 2018

    According to Inc.com, there are ten reasons why it’s important to create a happy workplace. For one thing, the article points out, happiness is contagious and can spread throughout an entire company. And, here another benefit: happy employees also tend to be the most successful ones. People who enjoy their work are “more productive, happier, and more successful. This increases self-confidence and inspires greater performance and greater success for both employee and employers.”

And, at The Chef’s Garden, that’s exactly what Farmer Lee Jones has been doing: reminiscing over a fantastic year and envisioning how next year will be even better.
