Jackie Page
Jackie is the Culinary Director and Food Coordinator for Farm to Table. She is also the chef and owner of Love Rocks Café and Jackie Kennedy Catering. Cooking comes naturally to Jackie, and she learned everything from her mother by standing next to her in the kitchen before she was old enough to see the top of the stove. Feeding others and making sure they have healthy options is on the top of Jackie’s priority list. So joining the Farm to Table team was a perfect fit.
