Hear the story of how this young chef found his way to a unique six-year (and counting) stint at one of the most esteemed farms in the world, and what the the rewards of flowing to to the rhythms of a working farm are. Then, meet Jamie's kitchen team, a passionate group of chefs of varying ages and lengths of tenure who share a common enthusiasm for their surroundings and teammates.
