Gilroy — the true heart of the “Valley of Heart’s Delight.” I get a significant amount of produce from its abundant, mineral-rich, organic and regenerative farms. It’s where I want to give back. You’ll find me at many local businesses. It’s where I’m committed to providing the highest standard of what luxury dining at home should be, while respecting and embracing Mother Nature and her bounty.

Gilroy Private Chef

Michelle Masinloc

Gilroy is a place that should be protected at all costs. Home of Gilroy Gardens and the Garlic Festival - Gilroy has one of the most genuine and special communities I have experienced. A very family-oriented and kind neighborhood - when I drive a few minutes to town to do some errands and grab a bite, I always feel at home. It reminds me of the small town where I grew up in Southern California. My favorite farm friend Zoe is there, where her and her husband established Full Circle - a regenerative and organic farm! Painted Table Farm has beautiful seasonal flowers, and Back To Eden Ranch is fun for animal visits and stays! There’s endless juicy fruit and produce throughout the town. But more than just the garlic and produce - Gilroy represents heart.
