While in Burlington, his professional introduction in the kitchen was under the watchful eye of a sushi master; it was here that he was steeped in a culture of wasting nothing, which fostered Ian’s intense dedication to sustainability and stewardship of the environment. He then ventured out west to be under the wing of his uncle in Big Sky, Montana, and to be lead line cook at a resort whose restaurant served record numbers in season.
To gain experience in high-volume preparation and dining, he worked as the executive sous chef with several top catering groups: Taste Catering, Sonnier & Castle and Neuman’s Kitchen, the latter two of which are New York City’s premier caterers. His deep experience in that field serves him well in his role at Pippin Hill Farm, an environment created for distinctive events as well as agritourism. Ian’s refined wine sensibility assures that every bite is in tune with the viniculture of Pippin Hill Farm & Vineyards, enjoyed within sight of the lovely hillside where it all begins.
