For Jeff Crump, the future lies in the past. It’s not that Crump isn’t a forward-thinking chef; he definitely is. It’s that he knows what Alice Waters, Jamie Kennedy and others have always known: that eating local, sustainably-produced food isn’t simply the best eating around; it’s also the most sensible.

But Jeff is not one to pontificate until he’s convinced you he’s right. He’s not going to tell you to eat sustainably, seasonally or locally if you don’t want to. He won’t harp on the fact that he never serves processed food at the Ancaster Old Mill because it’s not healthy. What he will do, however, is coax you into his corner by feeding you some of the freshest, sun-drenched and most beautifully prepared food you’ve ever tasted, sourced from farmers he knows and trusts.

Earth to table cuisine is about getting food from the source, preparing it well, making new friends, and ultimately feeling good about the process. His food is sensational and highlights Crump’s culinary prowess in adapting traditional dishes into something that better reflects him. Even if you don’t care about where this food is from, you can’t deny that it’s incredibly good.
