Our Story

Hello, Hopewell!

Food has always been my lifelong passion. My culinary journey began as a child, helping my grandmother transform our family farm’s harvest into delicious Sunday suppers in her magical wood-fired oven.

Over the past decade, I’ve honed my skills in leading culinary roles across Central New Jersey, most recently as Chef de Cuisine at Brick Farm Tavern. That experience deepened my passion for simple, farm-to-table cooking and brought me to achieving my dream: creating a space where real ingredients, real people, and real, local flavors come together.

Hopewell Farmer’s Cafe is a celebration of the incredible farms in our community. I’m proud to collaborate with local gem farms in our community, as well as other Hopewell Valley producers, to bring the best of New Jersey’s seasonal produce to your plate.

My goal is to craft a menu that’s fresh, healthy, and delicious—rooted in sustainability and accessible to all. At Hopewell Farmer’s Cafe, you’ll find dishes that honor the bounty of our local farms while offering a casual, welcoming dining experience.

I invite you to join me, nestled in the beautiful heart of picturesque Hopewell, NJ, in the collaborative space of Hopewell Fare. Let’s celebrate the vibrant flavors of our community together!
