Chris Fischer was born on August 19, 1980, in Chilmark, which is located at Martha’s Vineyard in Dukes County, Massachusetts, United States of America. He grew up in a 5.7-acre parcel of land, which was bought by his grandfather, Albert Oswald Fischer Jr., in 1961. Growing up in his grandfather’s Beetlebung Farm, Chris was presented with an opportunity to connect with nature and food right from his childhood. As he grew older, he started working on the farm along with the rest of the family members. He learnt the art of falling in love with food among many other subtleties of life on this farm. In one of his later interviews, Chris spoke about the importance of lunching and dining with family members, something which he learnt by being part of a huge family of farmers.
