‘Soiled Reputation’ Earns Spot on Agriculture Wall of Fame
Congratulations to friends and long-time supporters of Stratford Chefs School Antony John and Tina Vanden Heuvel – the couple behind Soiled Reputation, the well-known organic field crop and greenhouse operation in Sebringville, west of Stratford, who will officially be inducted into the Stratford Perth Museum Agriculture Wall of Fame in 2023.
John McIntosh, Chair of the Agriculture Wall of Fame’s organizing committee, highlighted the impact Soiled Reputation has made across the region:
“This dynamic couple have become well-known not just in our area, but stretching out to the greater food community. Antony and Tina have proven that agriculture and food production and marketing comes in different shapes and sizes and we felt should be recognized for their accomplishments.”

“When I decided to be a chef, I made it a goal to pick the best culinary school in the country to build a solid foundation. I chose the Stratford Chefs School, mostly for its reputation for producing talent, for its intense training program, and for the intimate student – teacher ratio. I certainly wouldn’t be where I am in my career without the connections I made and the skills that I learned there.”
Carl Heinrich | Executive Chef and Co-owner, Richmond Station, Toronto | Stratford Chefs School Class of 2005 | Top Chef Canada 2012
“The Stratford Chefs School provides the training to create world-class chefs who are comfortable working in any kitchen environment. Its immersive, approachable, interactive curriculum provided me with the tools and confidence that I needed early on in my career to make the transition from the school setting to the workforce. Perhaps most important to me are the lasting friendships that were made, the ongoing support from the SCS community, and exciting collaborations with other alumni.”
Alondra Galvez | Owner/Chef, El Cactus Taco Shop | Stratford Chefs School Class of 2003
“At the Chefs School, I was given the opportunity to challenge myself, and expand the limits of my culinary skill and knowledge. SCS gave me the ability to trust in my own skill and allowed me to expand my knowledge. Now I confidently pass that skill and knowledge to my students.”
