This exciting new series is the result of a continued partnership between A+E Networks, Rachael Ray's Free Food Studios, and Intentional Content. It highlights the work of Farmer Lee Jones, the passionate force behind The Chef’s Garden, as he welcomes celebrated chefs from across the country to his farm. Together, they explore the limitless potential of fresh, seasonal ingredients grown on the farm, creating dishes that are both inspiring and aspirational.
Each episode takes viewers behind the scenes, from the farm to the industrial kitchen at the Culinary Vegetable Institute, where Farmer Lee and chefs like Emma Bengtsson, Curtis Duffy, Jenner Tomaska, and Rachael Ray use the farm’s harvests to craft innovative and mouth-watering dishes. From beet granita with cured salmon and chilled corn soup to Thai-spiced shepherd’s pie and crab-stuffed burrata with roasted watermelon, each dish showcases the vibrant flavors of nature’s bounty. The chefs don’t just cook—they experiment, innovate, and collaborate to push the boundaries of what can be done with farm-fresh produce.
“The Chef’s Garden” invites viewers into a world where flavors and creativity meet, and the farm’s vibrant offerings fuel the culinary imagination.
This series is produced by Free Food Studios, led by Rachael Ray and her producing partners Brian Flanagan, Anthony Amoia, and Sean Lee. It continues A+E Networks’ partnership with Rachael Ray’s Free Food Studios, expanding their shared vision to bring farm-to-table stories and culinary innovation to the forefront.
