UNFORGETTABLE PARTNERSHIPS
Inspired by the work of the Drummond Culinary Academy and Chef EJ Jimenez’s leadership, the Markon Cooperative Produce Company brings over 30 Member Chefs from all over the world to mentor and cook with Rancho Cielo students each year.

The chefs meet with our students in small groups to provide advice and inspiration. This collaboration has raised over $60,000 since 2021 and over 300 DCA students have participated since the partnership began.

The opportunity for our students to work with such great chefs during a ‘real-life’ dinner service is priceless. Markon chefs are great role models and provide inspiration for our local youth.
