HURON, Ohio, Sept. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Farmer Lee Jones, co-founder of The Chef's Garden, will join the Opening Ceremony of Climate Week NYC on September 22, 2025, as part of a high-level panel on ecological resilience and the far-reaching impact of bodies of water.
"Our farm, The Chef's Garden, is nestled in Huron, Ohio, just three miles inland from Lake Erie. We believe there is an urgent need to invest in regenerative agriculture," said Farmer Jones. "I am grateful to The Climate Group for this invitation and for bringing people together to exchange practices and take action."
The Chef's Garden has become a leader in regenerative agriculture, supplying a vast array of vegetables, herbs, microgreens, and edible flowers to some of the most renowned chefs in the U.S. and around the world. Every crop is grown with a commitment to soil health, biodiversity, and long-term sustainability.
"We farm in ways that are regenerative and innovative, investing in green energy through biofuels, wind, and solar power, supported by our own grid for colder months," Farmer Jones explains. "Most importantly, we remain mindful of our responsibility to Lake Erie, whose vitality makes our crops so distinctive and deeply rooted in place."
