About

The owner of Rahal Farms in Fairview, Tennessee, Michael Rahal has taken an interest in farming because of his culinary passion. As the proprietor of his own farm, he can oversee the production of the ingredients that go into his cooking. For example, Michael Rahal takes personal care over the cows that produce his milk that he then makes into artisanal cheeses and butter. Cooks can learn a lot from having this intimacy with their ingredients, and Mr. Rahal is currently adding a culinary school to his farm to create the Center for Culinary Sustainability. The kind of cooking that Michael Rahal practices on his farm is sustainable, and he wants to share this knowledge with others.
