Soil is at the heart of food when you sow the seed, nurture the plant and then harvest. For Farmer Lee Jones of Huron, Ohio, there's way more to it - the soil's health is paramount to his life's work. We get into his passion of regenerative agriculture and vegetables he's growing and shipping all over the world.
Sebastian La Rocca, who is the Argentina-born chef at the restaurant FYR in my hometown of Columbus, Ohio. It's a Latin American live fire restaurant that opened inside of a new Hilton Columbus Downtown Hotel right on High Street in the middle of the city in late 2022. I have known Sebastian for years from his work in Costa Rica, where he ran the restaurant at the El Mangroove Hotel in Guanacaste, and then opened up an open fire restaurant called Botanika outside of San José, which was one of New Worlder's Best New Restaurants when it opened. When he told me he was moving to Columbus I was completely surprised, but I immediately thought that it was one of the smartest decisions any chef I've ever met has made. I can tell just from my interactions with him over the past year that he is happier. He went to cook in a city that appreciates what he can do and not to win awards and recognition, though he is getting it anyway. It was a decision to move his family there so they could live a happier life. So many young chefs tell me they want to open in New York or somewhere because it is their dream. Really, that's your dream as a cook? Shouldn't it be to make good food that people enjoy and provides you a comfortable life? That can be New York or San Francisco or London or Tokyo, but it doesn't have to be. You can cook from anywhere. There are cities like Columbus everywhere. Why not open in Trujillo, Peru instead of Lima? Or Manaus instead of Sao Paulo? Every cook I know that's moved outside the centralized media market, outside of the industry bubble and found their place has been a thousand times happier and they are cooking better food for it. Fyr, Sebastian's restaurant, has been getting great reviews in local media and he has been bringing a lot of prominent Latin American chefs to Ohio to cook at the restaurant, such as Costa Rica's Pablo Bonilla and Panama's Mario Castrellón. It's kind of weird. These are guys I know from Latin America an have written about a lot that are suddenly in Columbus. It's kind of two worlds colliding for me.I grew up here and went to college here. It's basically all I knew until I was in my 20s. I've talked a lot on this podcast about growing up completely disconnected from where the food I ate was coming from. On the episode with Farmer Lee Jones, who runs Chef's Garden in northern Ohio, I talk about how there weren't any farms around. There were just corn and soy fields you drove past on the highway. And all of the restaurants were chains and concepts. I started writing about food in Ohio when I was 19, I think, and it wasn't really until then that I started questioning things. A culinary movement was just beginning there then, with Jeni's, now a well-known ice cream purveyor, opening in the North Market. There were a handful of fine dining restaurants that were being vocal about supporting local farms, and after I left it just kept kind of evolving. There are really great restaurants there now, both at the high and low end. My old neighborhood is full of Nepalese, Mexican and Salvadoran restaurants, and there has been a lot influence from North Africa and Southeast Asia elsewhere in the city. There are still too many concept restaurants for my taste, but there are more restaurants that are created organically and have creative food with good ingredients and nice drinks to balance it out. It's a very different place from where I grew up and it's because of people like Sebastian moving there and bringing new ideas.Read more at New Worlder.

After relocating several times to work and train in Denver, Italy and Chicago, Chef Kilgore worked at world renowned restaurant Alinea In Chicago before leaving to open L2o under Chef Laurent Gras. Later, both restaurants garnered the honor of 3 Michelin Stars. He has now planted his feet in the beautiful city of Miami. In the summer of 2015, Chef Kilgore opened Alter in the art focused Wynwood district of Miami. There, he offered Progressive American Cuisine, garnering National and International recognition for his work. At Alter he highlighted indigenous Floridian ingredients and up to 15 course tasting menu and wine pairings. The wine program was named Top 100 in America by Wine Enthusiast several years in a row. Alter received 4 stars from the Miami Herald within a few months of opening, making Chef Kilgore the only Chef in the history of the Miami Herald to receive 4 Stars two times. Alter was also named restaurant of the year by Eater, and Chef Kilgore was named Chef of the Year by the same publication in both 2014 and 2015.

At Alter, he became well known for his hyper creative presentations and genius flavor combinations. The 15 course tasting menu and wine pairings were unlike any the region had ever seen. In 2018, The James Beard foundation named him a finalist as "Best Chef South". Alter was Internationally recognized twice as a "Diners Discovery" by the prestigious voters of San Pellegrino's "The World's 50 Best". For five years he was the Culinary Director for the Adrienne Arsht Center and had a signature restaurant, Brava, by Brad Kilgore.

On episode 24, Dr. Amy Sapola and guest host, Farmer Lee Jones chat with Chef Aaron Bludorn. Originating from the Pacific Northwest, Chef Aaron Bludorn found a love for the culinary arts and hospitality from a young age. His culinary journey led him to the Napa Valley, where he spent a three-year period at Cyrus Restaurant, honing his skills under Michelin-starred Chef Douglas Keene. During this time, Bludorn imbibed the principles of cooking imbued with quality, integrity, and finesse. As New York City called, Chef Keene encouraged him to seek out Chef Daniel Boulud, emphasizing that Boulud's kitchens embodied all the fundamental pillars Bludorn sought. In 2009, Bludorn embarked on a new chapter, joining Café Boulud, where he was introduced to the newly appointed Executive Chef, Gavin Kaysen. Kaysen was in the process of assembling a team of vibrant, emerging culinary talents. In 2014, with Chef Kaysen's departure, Bludorn ascended to the role of Executive Chef. As a stalwart figure within Boulud's culinary empire, Bludorn passionately dedicated himself to nurturing the next generation of culinary leaders. His commitment extended to his involvement as a board member in the non-profit organization Careers Through Culinary Arts Programs (C-CAP).

Farmer Lee Jones always wears his trademark overalls and red bowtie as a symbol of his commitment to regenerative agricultural practices. Ever since the early days of The Chef's Garden's creation over thirty-five years ago, he has remained tirelessly committed to not only ensuring that the family's three-hundred-acre farm remains one of the most innovative and pioneering in the world, but to fostering a nuanced conversation with the chefs in our industry who look to the farm to grow vegetables that are as aesthetically pleasing on the plate as they are flavorful to the palate. He is devoutly committed to the chefs he works with in all corners of the world and takes great pride in the relationships he has with the people who have become his mentors, guiding light, and inspiration. These are the bonds that have inspired the highest quality, most flavorful, and extraordinary vegetables in the world—and for Farmer Lee Jones, every day promises a new opportunity to connect with the chefs who have helped to make the farm the pioneering leader in regenerative agriculture that it is today. Regenerative Farming: Flavor and NutritionUsing regenerative farming techniques, the team at The Chef's Garden farms in harmony with Mother Nature for healthy soil, healthy crops, healthy people, and a healthy planet. Crops grown in this healthy soil have the maximum of flavor and nutrition. The farm has its own cutting-edge agricultural research lab, which was the brainchild of Farmer's Lee's father, Bob, Sr. Through our research, we confirmed that our flavorful, farm-fresh vegetables have 300 to 600 percent more in nutrients than the USDA baseline—results that have been independently verified.

She has since had to close the beloved Poi Dog restaurant, however the name (and sauces) live on! You've most likely heard of her, considering Chef Aranita has appeared on numerous magazines, television shows, and syndicated news outlets--and currently, on the shelves of businesses throughout the Philadelphia region. Join us as we speak with Kiki about her heritage, how she grew her business, and transitioned into creating a line of sauces that we're clamoring for!We then spoke with Farmer Lee Jones, who has literally wrote the book on regenerative farming methods! Not only has Jones written a book on how to grow nutrient-rich vegetables, his more than 300-acres of farmland has been nurtured to provide ingredients sought-after by the likes of Rachel Ray, Wolfgang Puck, and many more!

So how do you know, as a chef, where you should be putting your energy outside of your normal job description? Because quite often on CHEF Radio, we talk about how chefs have positive impacts outside of the kitchen through great leadership practices, mentorship, fundraisers, and foundations, but maybe one of the single biggest impacts we can make is through our own responsible purchasing and sourcing and teaching the next generation the importance of being stewards of our foodways and food systems. Reducing our carbon footprint through climate education, menu planning, reducing food waste, and even packaging and plastics reduction are just some of the ways we can leave this industry better than how we found it, and let's face it, when you become a leader in our industry, you're expected to do so much more than just simply create menu items, work service, and write a schedule. And of course, as individual chefs, we can each do this on our own, but as you're going to hear today, when a farmer and a chef work hand-in-glove to create a Regenerative Organic utopia such as Chef's Garden, the impact they can have is immeasurable, and it's no coincidence that this is Earth Week, and we are releasing this on Earth Day, because I couldn't imagine a better couple of guests to talk about the major positive impacts they've had on our planet and people and why would they do is massively important. Support Regenerative Organic Agriculture! Here's what else you'll hear: Farmer Lee Jones Coming to you live from the New York Food & Restaurant Show 2023 What is Regenerative Organic farming and why you as a chef need to be supporting it? Why our vegetables nutritional levels continue to decline on a massive scale even with the advances in technology Trying to farm like they did 100 years ago Harvesting the sun by planting cover crops and soil Why we must support regenerative organic farming as chefs because the government's not going to change anything Having a medical doctor on staff at the Chef's Garden to help create more nutrient dense vegetables to assist in healing. How the Chef's Garden changed the game with the creation of microgreens Charlie Trotter's influence on the trajectory of CG Chef's Garden focuses on their team & community and why that matters Chef Jamie Simpson The Culinary Vegetable Institute at the Chef's Garden Jamie's love for all 600+ different varieties of fruits and vegetables that grow around him How they bring chefs to the Vegetable Institute for either R&D or a little R&R The biggest changes that Jamie has been a part of over the years at Chef's Garden Moving towards a direct-to-consumer and pick-to-order concept Having to give up his career and music to focus on being a chef How they harvest all parts of the plants and use absolutely everything that can possibly be turned into food or a food related product Creating vegetable “Deli Slices” High Pressure Pasteurization and why Jamie is so excited about it A huge shout out to our sponsors, Maxwell McKenney and Singer Equipment, for their unwavering support, which allows us to be able to bring these conversations to you.

Hosts Bridget Albert & Julie Milroy welcome Farmer Lee Jones from The Chef's Garden
This week, we're excited to welcome Farmer Lee Jones to Salt + Spine, the podcast on stories behind cookbooks.Lee grew up in Ohio, where his family has farmed for about six generations. Fresh into college at just 19 years old, Lee saw everything his family owned gone in a day—their farm, their house, their car—after a hail storm devastated their crops, and interest rates were sky-high. At that moment, the family pivoted to smaller-scale farming, catering to farmers’ markets.And it was at a farmers market in Cleveland, Ohio, that a chef approached them. asking where she could buy the type of vegetables she was used to cooking with in Europe, meaning organic, heirloom, chemical-free produce. Lee was in his early 20s, and the family took a vote—and decided to transition to growing only quality ingredients for chefs to use in their restaurants. And that paved the path forward.Today, Lee’s family farm has become The Chef’s Garden, which focuses on regenerative farming and supplies some of the world’s greatest chefs with the quality ingredients they rely on. There is also a major focus on research and innovation, with the Culinary Vegetable Institute, a research and training center on the farm that brings chefs and farmers around the globe together to learn about and innovate on vegetables.And now that wealth of generational knowledge is coming together in Lee’s first cookbook, also titled The Chef’s Garden. It’s both a guide (to more than 500 types of produce and herbs, both common and less-known) and a cookbook, with a collection of more than 100 recipes, including many developed by Jamie Simpson, head chef at the Culinary Vegetable Institute.START COOKING TODAY: Bookshop | IndieBound |AmazonIf you thought you knew vegetables, wait until you see recipes for things like a Seared Rack of Brussels Sprouts, or Cornbread-Stuffed Zucchini Blossoms—or even sweets like Onion Caramel and Beet Marshmallows.Lee joined us remotely for this week’s episode to #TalkCookbooks, calling in from the farm and wearing, of course, his signature overalls-and-red-bow-tie getup.

Farmer Lee Jones runs The Chef's Garden, his family farm in Huron, Ohio. He is the author of The Chef's Garden: A Modern Guide to Common and Unusual Vegetables – with Recipes.
Farmer Lee Jones joins Lois Reitzes to talk about his new book, "The Chef's Garden: A Modern Guide to Common and Unusual Vegetables".Plus, a conversation about this year's Juneteenth celebration at the Atlanta History Center.
This is a follow up interview with Ohio farmer, Lee Jones and chef Jamie Simpson. Farmer Lee Jones and food writer Kristin Donnelly have just released a 600+ page book that is the quintessential encyclopedia of vegetables. The Chefs Garden, A Modern Guide to Common and Unusual Vegetables with Recipes shares decades of knowledge about the most familiar vegetables and those that might be new to us like salsify, cardoons or oca. Jamie Simpson, The Chef Garden's executive chef, has devised recipes that honor the best qualities of each vegetable and stretch our understanding of what we can do with them. In this episode we talk about how the vegetables we eat have changed over the years, how the book is organized and how to use it, and Jamie's discovery of a brand new way to make vegetable stock, among other things. And I get schooled on the difference between soil and dirt.
Farmer Lee Jones knows a thing or two about vegetables...and not just the ordinary ones like carrots, potatoes and peas. For more than 30 years his Huron, Ohio farm has been growing the most interesting, nutrient-dense, and beautiful vegetables for the prestigious restaurants around the country. Vegetables from The Chef's Garden are a staple ingredient for well-known chefs that include Daniel Boulud, Jose Andrés and Thomas Keller and are familiar to food TV celebs as well as northeast Ohio's culinary greats. Lucky for us, we can also access those same veggies at an old fashioned farmstead or in home delivery boxes. Farmer Lee Jones and food writer Kristin Donnelly have just released a 600+ page book that is the quintessential encyclopedia of vegetables. The Chefs Garden, A Modern Guide to Common and Unusual Vegetables with Recipes shares decades of knowledge about familiar vegetables and those that might be new to us like cardoons, salsify and oca. Chef-in-Residence Jamie Simpson has devised recipes that honor the best qualities of each vegetable and stretch our understanding of what we can do with them. In the first of two interviews we talk to Farmer Lee and Chef Jamie about why a plant-forward future is inevitable and necessary, how looking back in time is actually the key to our culinary future, and how asking more of our plants and vegetables is a key to a more sustainable food system.
The sandy loam is perfect for cultivating rare and unique vegetable varieties near Lake Erie. Farmer Lee Jones tells us why his family farm quit selling by the semi load and became The Chef's Garden. The beautiful recipes in his Modern Guide to Common and Unusual Vegetables is just the nudge we need to find the way to a plant forward future.

In this informative and moving episode, Farmer Lee Jones speaks passionately about his family farm in Huron, Ohio which was passed on from his late, beloved father.Why should you listen to this podcast? It's really simple. We talk about how YOU can be a part of the solution and not a part of the problem when it comes to buying your produce. We also tell you how your future health can be saved if you start supporting your local farmers NOW.Another important thing we'll be going over is Farmer Lee's direct-to-consumer produce packages you can buy, providing you with quality produce that far-surpasses anything you'll find at the store. Oh, and they ship directly to your doorstep! GOOD NEWS is I have a 5% discount code for you to use!ERIKACARSELLA is my special discount code which should already be populated if you buy from this link below!You can order HERE ----> https://www.farmerjonesfarm.com/Farmer Lee may discuss why we should be supporting local farmers as much as we can instead of buying commercially-grown produce from the stores, but it doesn't stop there. Just because you find a local farmer doesn't necessarily mean their products are local, so be sure to do your research to make sure you're supporting the right cause.Why is Farmer Lee different from the others? He doesn't just believe in sustainable farming, he believes in regenerative farming. What's the difference, you ask?Sustainable means just that - to "sustain." But Farmer Lee believes in thinking far beyond just "the now." First and foremost, he treats his team with respect and pays them a deserving wage. This gives them a sense of security and a feeling of importance. By doing this, his team has the desire to stay with him and a desire to take part in the future of regenerative farming.Farmer Lee talks about how the health of the soil is the most important thing when growing anything. Just like we give our bodies vitamins C, D, E and everything we need to remain healthy and strong, seeds need nutrient-dense soil to grow healthy and strong produce. The healthier the soil, the stronger the produce grows, the better chance they have at naturally fighting off disease and insects. This means there isn't even a need for pesticides!The vegetables we buy at the grocery store are full of wax, pesticides and GMO's that are designed to specifically tolerate those harsh pesticides. Then we are the ones who eat them. This is not good for us. Farmer Lee and his team at The Chef's Garden like to say "pay the farmer now or pay the doctor later."COVID has been extremely challenging on so many businesses. Farmer Lee and his team have been struggling to stay afloat because the majority of his customers were chefs. Now that restaurants are not flourishing like they once were, Farmer Lee's customer base has decreased significantly and he wants to do everything he can to keep his families legacy alive. But it's less about his family and more about his vision for the future of regenerative farming. If you haven't already, please visit the link listed above and buy yourself the best-tasting veggies you've ever had while supporting an extremely important cause.

On this episode of Best Served, our host Jensen Cummings sits down with Farmer Lee Jones of The Chef's Garden, Huron, OH.
Farmer Lee Jones talks about the joy and family in small farming, what The Chef's Garden is doing to navigate the rapid changes of the pandemic, and how they're bringing healthy food directly to people's tables. This podcast was brought to you by the best PR team in the business, Melissa Harris and Jane Hirt. Show notes: Michael on Instagram The Chef's Garden Farmer Lee Jones
Farmer Lee Jones from The Chef's Garden says "We are going to create a whole entire generation of gardeners because once they garden as a child and they learn how fun that is, they understand that the carrot comes from the soil and when they can go with mom and dad and harvest that and bring it in and cook it, and then eat it and realize how good it is and they have a connection with where the food's coming from and how it's grown and how much work it takes to grow it. We've got a generation of gardeners!" What we covered in this episode Farmer Lee Jones says that, with the COVID-19 pandemic, they are even more focusing on health and food safety at the farm. The current situation affected them in a grand way. Over the last 37 years, hundred percent of their revenue has come from working directly with chefs throughout the United States and internationally. Farmer Lee Jones explains that the farm is in an ideal location. It is situated 2.9 miles inland from Lake Erie and Lake Erie is the shallowest of all the great lakes and it's also the warmest, and the soil is all old Lake bottom. In the early eighties, after a very devastating hailstorm that wiped out all the crops, his parents lost the farm. They started back in farmer's market. Farmer lee jones was around 20 years old at that time. They met a local Chef who educated them about growing vegetables without chemicals and told them that they would be enough Chefs in America that would support them to grow vegetables with great flavor. The second Chef was Jean Louis Paladin. He helped them to build their network with Chefs like Daniel Boulud, Thomas Keller, Alain Ducasse, and Jean-Georges Vongerichten. Farmer Lee Jones says that what they have heard from chefs over the last 37 years is that flavor is the most important. Flavor, flavor, flavor. And that's really what they have based every decision on was the flavor, the integrity of the product, and how it's grown. With the pandemic, The Chef's Garden pivoted their business to online orders and deliveries. You can order a box of vegetables, herbs, and blossoms to be delivered at your doorsteps at https://www.chefs-garden.com/products/home-delivery Healthy soil = healthy plants = healthy food for people. Link to the podcast episode on Apple Podcast Submitted questions from podcast listeners What is the best type of farming? It is our personal belief, says Farmer Lee Jones from The Chef's Garden, that God designed a system far superior to anything we can fake out chemically or synthetically. The way that we're farming [in the US] chemically and commercially today is much like our Western culture of medicine. Once we get sick, then a doctor prescribes medicine to treat the symptom. The method of farming that we're trying to do today is more like the Eastern culture. The Eastern culture is, get the body in balance to defend against the disease in the first place. So we have a sane healthy soil, healthy vegetables, and healthy people. We do the soil analysis based on the deficiencies that we find within the soil. Then we plant crop specific. This is what's really cool based on the deficiency we plant cover crops. Different types of plants will accept different types of energy from the sun, buckwheat, Clover, vetch, barley. We even have a 17 variety cover crop mix that we use to give us a, it would be like, like us taking a multivitamin, the plants except different types of energy from the sun, so based on the deficiency in the soil, you plant crops specific. You let that land sit fallow and let the plants in and if you can visualize the leaves of that plant as antenna or receptacles, they accept the energy through the leaves into the stems, then down to the roots and then into the soil. Then the next year when we plant the turnip or the beat or the carrot or the radish or the zucchini or whatever it happens to be, it picks that back up and when we eat it, it builds our immune system.
The source of your food is more important than ever. Buying straight from the farm is one way to have fresh seasonal produce while supporting local farmers, and it also encourages cooking at home and healthy eating. For more than 37 years, Farmer Lee Jones of The Chef's Garden, has supplied specialty produce to the nation's top chefs and restaurants. Now, consumers can order a variety of colorful, seasonal produce boxes shipped direct from The Chef's Garden in Huron, Ohio. www.chefs-garden.com

In 1983, the Jones family of Milan, Ohio, shifted the focus of their family farm to providing the best possible ingredients to a growing population of chefs seeking high-quality and specialty produce, renaming their business The Chef's Garden. The approach has served them well, until the current pandemic. With restaurants temporarily shuttering across the globe, The Chef's Garden's customer base disappeared, and the company made a shift to selling a line of themed produce boxes (Immunity Booster, Anti-Aging Mix, Subscription Box, etc.) for home cooks. Farmer Lee Jones, the longstanding public face of the Jones family and The Chef's Garden, takes us inside the pivot and describes how his team made the switch so quickly. Our great thanks to S.Pellegrino for making these special reports possible.Support our cause of the day: If you are able to, please buy a gift certificate from you favorite restaurant!
