About Our Farm
Our Story
About The Farm
We are a third-generation farm, led by brothers Farmer Lee Jones and Bob Jones, dedicated to growing exceptional vegetables that are more flavorful, nutrient-dense, and visually appealing than ordinary produce. We offer a wide variety of specialty and unique vegetables, herbs, microgreens, and edible flowers, all grown to the highest standards.
Our Product Difference
At The Chef’s Garden, we envision a truly sustainable world – where deep connections exist between people and food, and our land is cultivated with exceptional care.
We believe we are called to steward the earth, rebuilding the soil to leave it better and healthier than we found it. We believe in uncomplicating nutrition and elevating the culinary experience, partnering with chefs and home consumers around the globe who use our food to teach us about different ways to engage our senses and experience the world.
For us, there’s nothing more special than doing all this alongside our family. Both family that’s given and family that’s made, in a small town in Ohio that we love to call home. At the core of who we are, we’re finding new and different ways — innovative ways — to apply new-world technology to an old-world philosophy of farming.

We care deeply about revitalizing the land, growing nutrient-rich vegetables, and positively impacting the environment for future generations. Over the past 40 years, our goal has always been to practice world-class agriculture and to grow vegetables that are healthy for both you and the environment.

Above all, we strive to improve the food system through teamwork. That’s why we collaborate with world-renowned chefs, scientists, medical professionals, and other food experts to share our knowledge and experience and create new and exciting culinary experiences. But at the heart of this teamwork is an unwavering commitment to caring for, supporting, and inspiring our farm family and being responsible members of our local community.
Mission
The Chef’s Garden is more than a farm. We are a community of individuals whose collective mission is to grow exceptional vegetables, care for each other and the land, and to inspire a vegetable-forward future. We invite you to be a part of our farm family.
Regenerative Agriculture
Regenerative Agriculture methods work to restore our soil and increase the rich biodiversity and nutrient density essential for plant and human health. Farming regeneratively helps sequester atmospheric carbon, reducing damage to our planet. This interconnected relationship between soil, plants, and people paves the way for a brighter and more sustainable future.
Meet The Jones Family
The Chef’s Garden is a three-generation family operation rooted in the vision and philosophy of our patriarch, Bob Jones Sr. Brothers Bob and Lee have continued to nurture and expand their father’s legacy.
Today, The Chef’s Garden team has grown to nearly 200 employees from small towns in Ohio and around the globe, yet it remains a family-owned operation.
The team includes three members of the second generation and six from the third generation of the Jones family, with even the youngest fourth generation making appearances as they grow.
