Portrait of Chris Eddy
i. Biography
"This is my dream job." Seed-to-table cooking defines the kitchen led by Chris Eddy as Executive Chef at The Restaurant at Winvian Farm in Morris, where the work is built around what can be grown, picked, prepared, and sent to the pass with a clear line back to the garden. For a native Vermonter, the role has also meant shaping a kitchen to fit that idea rather than the other way around.

The Climb
Today, Chris Eddy is Executive Chef of The Restaurant at Winvian Farm, a role he has held since 2006.
Today
At the restaurant, Eddy’s work is centered on seed-to-table cuisine, and the dishes show that approach in practice rather than in slogan. Handmade parsnip ravioli with greens, spinach, and cauliflower has been highlighted as one example of that line of cooking. The daily menus also make room for direct compositions. A beet salad with citrus segments, endive, and watercress has been featured on the daily menus at Winvian Farm.
Signature
Chris's signature dishes include handmade parsnip ravioli with greens, spinach, cauliflower and beet salad with citrus segments, endive, and watercress.
In Their Words “There was no playbook when I came here. I am so grateful to [owners] the Smith family. They have backed me every step of the way. I said I wanted a garden, they gave me a garden.” “I’ve hit the jackpot. I’ve kind of created my own reality here.”
Recognition
The handmade parsnip ravioli with greens, spinach, and cauliflower has been singled out as a clear example of how the kitchen expresses its guiding approach. The beet salad with citrus segments, endive, and watercress adds another marker of that work, appearing on the daily menus. Across both dishes, the recognition is specific: a chef, a garden-minded kitchen, and a long tenure in Morris.
