HOST FARMER: Mark DeRespinis | Esoterra Culinary Garden

GUEST CHEF: Cody Cheetham | Tavernetta

Host farmer Mark DeRespinis is a visionary ‘’culinary grower" whose four-acre oasis in the Boulder Valley is a master class in biodiversity. Using no-till, bio-intensive practices, Mark hand-tends over 300 specialty vegetables, herbs and edible flowers. Known for his contagious energy, Mark focuses on rare varieties and soil health to produce ingredients with unmatched vitality and flavor. We had a blast at our visit last year, and the feeling was mutual – “It was magical,” said Mark.

Chef Cody Cheetham will bring that magic to the table. Originally hailing from Chicago, Cody spent a season cooking in Sorrento, Italy before returning to the Windy City for stages in Paul Virant’s Perennial Virant and Pat and Mike Sheerin’s Trenchermen – chefs who also have cooked in OITF’s field kitchen. At Tavernetta, Chef Cody’s deep understanding of Italian cuisine is inspired by his passion for quality ingredients.
