Farmer Lee Jones and Renowned Chefs Come Together in The Chef’s Garden

We are thrilled to announce the premiere of The Chef’s Garden, a groundbreaking 10-episode series that brings together the world of regenerative farming and innovative culinary creations. Premiering on Monday, January 27 at 10 PM ET/PT on FYI, The Chef’s Garden celebrates the beauty of fresh produce, creativity in the kitchen, and the deep connection between chefs and the ingredients they work with.

This exciting new series is the result of a continued partnership between A+E Networks, Rachael Ray's Free Food Studios, and Intentional Content. It highlights the work of Farmer Lee Jones, the passionate force behind The Chef’s Garden, as he welcomes celebrated chefs from across the country to his farm. Together, they explore the limitless potential of fresh, seasonal ingredients grown on the farm, creating dishes that are both inspiring and aspirational.

A Journey from Farm to Table 

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.
