About the Chefs!
Julian Scanlon is a passionate advocate for local food systems, highlighting human health and the health of the planet.
Growing up in Italy from the ages of five to eighteen, he developed a deep appreciation for the unique flavors and nutritional value of food grown close to home.
After returning to Albuquerque, New Mexico, where he was born, Julian turned to fermenting his own foods as a way to maintain a healthy diet after struggling with the lack of nutritionally dense foods and the overabundance of processed foods.
Through experimentation and research, Julian discovered the numerous health benefits of fermentation and its positive effects on gut health. He is a skilled fermenter, creating delicious and healthy foods such as kombucha, sauerkraut, kimchi, vinegars, and more.
Julian also has a passion for growing plants and believes that growing his own produce and teaching others to do the same fosters a deeper connection to the food we eat and the environment we live in.
Whether foraging for mushrooms or tending to his garden, Julian is dedicated to honoring nature's gifts by helping to steward our ecosystems and human systems back to a place of health and homeostasis.
