Before the Plate follows John Horne, one of Canada’s most renowned chefs, on an epic journey as he follows each ingredient from one plate of food back to the farms they came from. Beginning in John’s prestigious restaurant Canoe, located on the 54th floor of a downtown Toronto highrise, John’s journey takes him from the busy, urban city to the rustic, rural origins of his ingredients. During his voyage, John investigates some of the most pressing issues facing farmers today, and discovers what it takes to produce food in a rapidly evolving agricultural landscape. Enjoy a rare look at today's food system, as the worlds of agriculture and cooking come crashing together in one mouth-watering Canadian food story.

We hear things on a daily basis about where our food comes from. Most of the time, the news is pretty grim. Bad news sells. But what if we step back? What if we looked at the whole picture? What if we could literally see what it takes to get food to our plate. Back in 2016 that is what we set out to do. Relentless in our efforts to get the honest truth and the farmers perspective, we started on a journey; the journey of our food. After 32 days of shooting, 10,000 km driven, 8 farm operations followed we landed up back at the plate where we started.
