Dear Chef, Time stands still for no man. Things keep moving along, sometimes, it seems, at the speed of light. It’s hard to believe, but we will celebrate 30 years of The Chef’s Garden in 2014. We couldn’t have achieved this milestone without your support, so thank you for being a part of this achievement. Watch out for some surprises this coming year, just to kick it up a notch.

The unrelenting passion of our team continues to blow my mind. Team members at The Chef’s Garden literally run when given the opportunity for new responsibilities and creativity, and ideas are exploding from every level of the farm. We recently transitioned to a new packing facility and, as you might expect after 30 years at the old location, things got a little bumpy. However, everything seems positioned for 2014 to be one of the most exciting years in the history of the farm.

2013 has been some year though. We said goodbye, with great sadness, to some exceptional people yet have been so fortunate to reunite with old friends and meet some amazing new talent exploding onto the scene.

It was great to reconnect with our roots this summer with the help of Dr. Lois Ellen Frank, Chef Walter Whitewater, Chef Nephi Craig, Chef Arlie Doxtator, Chef Tracey Ritter and Chef Curtis Duffy at the first annual Roots conference. We looked back at Native American traditions, ingredients and trade routes used to exchange goods with other tribes and regions. What an amazing legacy of sustainability. Looking to Native American culture is one source of inspiration I see growing in 2014, yet we also continue to see young talent and new ideas emerging from all over the world.

The farmer’s almanac says we are in for a heck of a great year.

May it be everything you can imagine and more.
