Ross Geach

Padstow Kitchen Garden, Padstow
On stage at 2pm

Former Stein’s head chef Ross Geach is the owner and head grower at Padstow Kitchen Garden, supplying produce to top restaurants in Cornwall and beyond.

A seventh-generation farmer, Ross turned a hobby into a thriving business, harvesting in the morning and personally delivering to local chefs by lunchtime. He has written for The Telegraph’s gardening section, appeared on BBC Radio Cornwall’s Gardenline, and featured on BBC One’s Countryfile.

Ross is a chef at heart, and to stay connected to the kitchen hosts regular sell–out Farm feasts and events, BBQ and Kitchen Garden workshops, all featuring his seasonal farm-grown produce. 

In 2024, Ross was made the UKs first Big Green Egg champion. This role sees him use his passion for and knowledge of cooking over fire around the world, including at Atlanta’s Eggtoberfest, a celebration of the 50th anniversary of Big Green Egg. 

New last year, guests can now stay on Ross’ family farm in luxury Shepherd’s Huts, immersing themselves in the sustainable ethos at the heart of Padstow Kitchen Garden
