In this episode of the Private Chef Podcast, we're joined by Jean-Paul Kyrillos, co-founder and CEO of FarmShelf. JP delves into the story behind FarmShelf, a smart indoor farming system enabling people to grow leafy greens and herbs in their homes or restaurant kitchens. He describes how this technology lets users cultivate their own food indoors, ensuring year-round access to fresh produce while minimizing the need for long-distance shipping.

Listen as JP shares his passion for nutritious food, the game-changing potential of indoor farming, and how FarmShelf is making a unique impact on sustainable, locally-grown food production.

Sound Bites

"We want people to have a connection to their food again."

"Just open up your farm shelf in your kitchen, and your herbs are right there. It's absolutely possible."

"There's a girl who's allergic to vegetables like a lot of kids are, but she eats the kale that she grew."

"I guarantee you indoor farming is going to be better for you and safer than something that might have been grown organically in California and sat on a truck for a week."
