The synergy between The Chef's Garden and the nations's finest chefs led the Jones family to create The Culinary Vegetable Institute(CVI). CVI is a culinary educational center near The Chef's Garden farm, surrounded by experimental gardens in a rustic, wooded setting. This setting enables chefs to retreat from their restaurant routines in order to foster a closer relationship with the farmer and provide them with inspiration.

CVI includes:

*A state-of-the-art kitchen facility.

*100-acres dedicated to research and development of hundreds of heirloom variety vegetables.

*Educational opportunities for the advancement of the culinary arts.
