Regenerative Baking #8: Jack Algiere of Stone Barns Center

 

Jack Algiere is the Director of Agroecology at Stone Barns Center for Food & Agriculture (@stonebarns), which is also home to the two-Michelin-starred Blue Hill at Stone Barns. First brought in to design the center’s boldly experimental organic farm in 2004, Jack Algiere warmly recalls his farming history, some of the projects Stone Barns is working on right now, his philosophy around farming, agroecology, and much more.
