I just got back from the American Culinary Federation's Chef meeting for the Detroit chapter. The meeting was at The Palmer Building on U of M campus. The meal was very exquisite, and featured produce from Chef Gardens. Lee Jones was the keynote speaker for the meeting and is the owner of Chef Gardens. He has been a family farmer for the past 47 years and his specialty now is to cater to chefs needs. His produce is well renowned by the most famous of chefs in The United States, including Thomas Keller, Charlie Trotter, and Jean-Georges Vongerichten just to name a few. He brought two tables full of morning picked vegetables from his farm. The variety was outstanding. Everything from microgreens to a leaf that is 1000x sweeter then sugar. I was memorized by the taste of all the produce. After talking with him after the presentation, I volunteered to help bring his produce to Ann Arbor. I really want to visit his farm as soon as possible.
