Jerry Boone

Jerry Boone is the owner of Froggy Meadow Farms in Beloit, Wisconsin. He makes a cameo appearance in The Bear. As a young man, Jerry Boone left the small farm he grew up on and ran off to the sea. After 25 years as a ship captain, it seemed a natural choice to return to farming. Since 2008, Froggy Meadow Farm, a small off-the-grid farm in Southern Wisconsin, has been producing fine vegetables.

Froggy Meadow Farm grows many types of vegetables, but their specialty is the Allium family: they grow Hardneck garlic in several varieties as well as two varieties of hard to find True French shallots, in addition to producing garlic and shallots for seed use. Large, tasty Cippollini onions are one of the farm's most popular crops. Froggy Meadow has also helped others add garlic and shallots to their garden.
