I want to focus on my salad.

I am always asking myself how I can improve the lives of my customers, my colleagues, my shareholders, my family and my friends.

I adore summer entertaining. For a dinner party at the farm, I might prepare homemade fettuccine with porcini mushrooms, soft-shell crabs, spinach from the garden, and lemon tarts with fraises des bois for dessert.

I have set a standard, and I'm going to stick to the standard. I may have been able to grow faster and maybe my business could have been bigger, but because I really feel very serious about my subject, I really want to be hands-on.

Really try to find a job where it's fun to get up and get out the door, no matter what time.
