We're so proud of our fabulous and creative chefs, Tessa MacNeill and Noelani Jones. They will be featured this Sunday at Root to Table's Salute to Woman in Culinary and Agriculture in Waterford, Virginia!

Great food is shaped by more than ingredients. It’s shaped by mentorship, creativity, and the people committed to passing their knowledge on to the next generation.

At Salute to Women in Culinary & Agriculture, we’re proud to celebrate that spirit through Alma Bea's and their mentorship of two talented chefs:

Tessa MacNeill — Chef de Cuisine
Noelani Jones — Pastry Chef

Join us in Waterford this weekend to meet Tessa and Noelani and celebrate the women whose talent, passion, and leadership are helping shape the future of our region’s culinary community.
