CAFÉ Talks Podcast
It’s hard to imagine two more significant issues than feeding the earth’s population with nutritious, flavorful food and protecting the planet where we live. Farmers are at the center of both issues. As chefs and culinary educators, we have an opportunity and obligation to work with farmers as advocates for both sustainable practices and paying respect for their work. Join CAFÉ Talks for a lively and extremely important discussion with Farmer Lee Jones of The Chef’s Garden – one of the country’s most vocal ambassadors for sustainable farming, respect for ingredients, and building strong relationships with chefs.
