About your hosts:

Growing Chefs: Food Education from Field to Fork was founded in 2005 to connect young eaters to their food with the simple act of planting a seed. Over the past five years, the culinary and horticultural team has grown to partner with Slow Food, Just Food, Greenmarket, and Health Corps to carry forth its basic philosophy: broccoli is not boring! In 2009, Growing Chefs hosted over 30 workshops and classes at the Eagle Street Rooftop Farm (www.RooftopFarms.org), instructing students and adult professionals on composting, growing your own food, urban sustainability, green roofs, and the ecological art of eating good food.
