"They're very gracious to host us," Ionnone tells What's Cooking. "We do a lot of farming with them. We're inviting the general public with the young kids to come out and actually harvest some of the fruits and produce, and then we're going to have three or four chefs there. We're gonna create dishes along with the children."
