Food has a way of bringing people together, and no one understands that better than Tricia Wheeler, founder of The Seasoned Farmhouse in Clintonville. From seasonal menus to unforgettable travel experiences, Tricia has created a gathering place that blends food, garden, and community into something truly special.
In this conversation, Tricia and I talk about her journey from graduating at the top of her class at the French Culinary Institute to building The Seasoned Farmhouse here in Columbus. She shares how the garden and changing seasons inspire her classes, why she believes the table is one of the most powerful places for connection, and how her culinary travels abroad shape the flavors and traditions she brings back home.
