Central New York has some incredible farmland, and some truly outstanding farmers to work it. My background, coming from a small New England town, and having had the great fortune to work with some of the best chefs in the country, informs what we are setting out to do with Eden. Finding the best ingredients we can in Central New York, and making connections with people in our community that work just as hard as we do to produce them. Through Eden we hope to highlight the bounty of the farm land and incredible producers here in Central New York and bring it to your plate.
