The Chef

Chef Patricia Foley grew up in Barrington, Illinois on a sixteen-acre family farm. The Foley Farm has been in the family since the early 1970’s and has been feeding local families for the past 20 years.

Growing her own produce and eating healthy sustainable food inspired Patricia to attend Culinary School at Le Cordon Bleu Chicago. Before graduating with Honors, Patricia completed her culinary externship under Chef Giuseppe Tentori at the Michelin Star award winning, Boka Restaurant, in Chicago.

Her travels through England, Spain, France, Germany and Greece have taught her that food should be about life, family and friends. Most importantly, food should always be FUN!
