Jonny Schwass, says that “ Cooking with local ingredients is important to me because it supports the small farmers and
gives them and their families a future. It is a great way to connect with the season of the region” and Chef of the
Nation Marc Soper says “It is more pleasurable to be cooking with the freshest of ingredients knowing where they are
sourced and how they are produced, having a connection to the producer is a more social aspect where the guest gets to
be guided on a journey of their plate of how items are produced, where, who and how there is a connection”
