Elaina Asselin: Farmer & ChefFood has been an influencing factor for all of my adult life. I love not only its’ creative aspect but the generosity of spirit it sends and the social environment it propagates. Sharing, for me, is the side of food that I love the most. After spending my early adult life as a Systems Analyst I felt a need to be more creative in my work. I spent over 16 years in Toronto and Montreal in the restaurant business as a Chef. It is a very grueling lifestyle, with many fond memories that I wouldn't trade for anything. Being a Chef is exciting, creative, stressful, all consuming and at times overwhelming. It also allowed me to share myself with so many people. Now, I am at a stage in my life where many things are important…my husband, my family and my cooking, the environment, living a healthy lifestyle, spending time with friends, and giving something of myself. My current position in life, farming, allows me to contribute to all of these. I am proud to say that I am a small part of a growing concern for our health and our environment. |
