Loghan+Call+Favorites-xsmall

Chef Loghan Call is passionate about the future of food and healthy soil and inspiring folks from around the country to reconnect with and understand the critical importance of fresh, locally-grown food consumed at harvest. This passion was ignited at a young age, growing up in the Hudson Valley where his mother Naomi (a chef and nutritionist) grew everything from vegetables to edible flowers on the property where Loghan grew up.

Loghan and Erik have been working together since they connected in Irvine at the Alegría Farm over five years ago. It was this connection that inspired Loghan to start a series of dinners where the produce was harvested early morning, on the same day and transformed into a seven course meal by dinner. This regenerative, “Food as Medicine” approach to cooking took off and Planted Cuisine was born. Since those early dinners Loghan has continued to refine his approach by connecting with people wherever they are on their food journey. His dinner experiences have transformed the way that people perceive food and the transformation that is possible when eating ultra-fresh, nutrient dense foods.

In 2020, his work is centered around creating symbiotic relationships between the future leaders of our communities: farmers, doctors and chefs. Since the moment he walked onto Erik’s farm five years ago, Loghan realized the critical role that the Alegria Farmacy will play in a regenerative future. He hopes to see Alegria Farmacy’s in every corner of our communities, providing access to superior nutrient dense foods to those who need it most. Loghan believes, “ The Alegría Farmacy model is perfect for community engagement at all levels and creates an opportunity that simply doesn’t exist otherwise.”
