Episode Synopsis

Babylonstoren is a fascinating project that has grown immensely since I last visited. There is just so much going on there. The return to mixed farming, the use of regenerative farming techniques in the fields and beds is incredible. There's so much happening, that the content couldn't be limited to just one episode. In the first of a couple of chats with key people on the farm, I spoke to executive chef Schalk Vlok about his role at Babel and the other restaurants there. So interesting how chefs are starting to think about produce and farming, and the people who produce the ingredients they work with.Babel RestaurantImage provided by Babylonstoren www.rwm2012.com On Instagram @a_table_inthecorner Cover image sketched by Courtney Cara Lawson All profile portraits by Russel Wasserfall unless otherwise credited Title music: 'In Time' by Olexy via Pixabay
