Since falling in love and marrying fifteen years ago, Eileen and Michael Chiarello have been on a mission to change the world—through food. Inspired by his mother’s love and guidance in the kitchen, Michael has focused on building meaningful food experiences for his fans through award-winning restaurants, his sustainably farmed wine label and media platform. Dedicated to championing sustainable food and farming, Eileen’s latest venture, Barnraiser, launched in May 2014 with the goal of providing a simple way for Americans to take charge of their food destiny. From healthy and artisanal foods to community kitchens to educational and organic farms, Barnraiser is a place to meet the people that are making a difference, share their inspirational stories, and fund their successes.
Join the Chiarellos for a candid conversation about how love shaped their commitment to flavor, farming and a sustainable food future—and the blood, sweat and tears it took to get where they are today.
