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.
Three-star Michelin and James Beard Foundation's Best Chef 2016, Chef Curtis Duffy of Ever and After joined Farmer Lee Jones at The Chef’s Garden to harvest sweet corn and create a homage to corn dish at The Culinary Vegetable Institute.
