Chef's Garden of Ohio

Lyle of Piedmont and Sandi of ECO had asked us if we'd stop by on our way down. Yes, yes! Of course we'll visit Chef's Garden of Ohio, we had said! Farm tours! Can there be anything more exciting to anticipate?! To us, not much.

Excitement stirred. Curiousity peaked. J made the call.

"We no longer do tours," the other end of the phone line stated.

"You don't? Not even to other farmers in other states who want to learn from you and try to emulate what you do to keep food in our restaurants more local?" I asked.

"No. No tours anymore. We have very high safety standards that we follow and we choose to take the highest precautions. We even wear lab coats and gloves. The temperature environments are strickly controlled..."

"Oh. Ok. I understand that's important with serving the public," I said, disappointment oozing. "So, if we want to learn from you we just have your website?"

"Yep that's right."

Hmmm.... so here's the website. Read and be enlightened, I suppose.
